Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. You can do this by removing the green tops and any white core.
Step 2
Place the strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water in a blender or food processor.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth puree. If you prefer a less pulpy popsicle, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds and pulp.
Step 4
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar or water according to your preference.
Step 5
Pour the strawberry mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
Step 6
If your popsicle mold doesn't come with a built-in stick mechanism, let the popsicles freeze for about 1 hour until they are semi-set, then insert wooden sticks into each mold.
Step 7
Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
Step 8
To release the popsicles from their molds, you can run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade strawberry popsicles!
