The Ultimate Easy to Prepare Vegetarian Recipes Cookbook - Pineapple Strawberry Popsicles with Fresh Fruits

Pineapple Strawberry Popsicles with Fresh Fruits

Ingredients:

Pineapple chunks                    1 cup

Strawberries                            2 cups

Pineapple juice                        1 to 2 cups

Sugar, white                            ½ cup (for simple sugar)

Water                                      ½ cup (for simple sugar)

To Prepare:

For this recipe, a few popsicle molds would come in handy but if you don’t have any in your kitchen, you can just as easily use an ice tray and make fruit cubes instead.

Preparing simple syrup is easy. In a sauce pan on low heat, just combine the water and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Want to prepare some simple syrup for your breakfast pancakes? Use brown sugar instead of white.

To prepare the popsicles, place the pineapple chunks in a blender along with a bit of pineapple juice, just enough to help the blender along, and puree. Sweeten with a tablespoon or two of simple syrup and set aside.

Place the washed, stem-free strawberries in a blender with a little pineapple juice and puree. Sweeten with a tablespoon or two of simple syrup.

Wash the raspberries, blueberries, or slice up some kiwi for the fresh fruit bits in the popsicles.

In the mold, pour the strawberry puree first along with pieces of fresh fruit. Fill the mold about halfway. Next, slowly pour the pineapple puree into the mold. The two purees differ in density and won’t mix; you’ll get a nice marbling effect, giving you a nice yellow and red swirl.

Freeze, and enjoy!
