Homemade popsicle recipes

I'll give some of these a try this summer for our 2yr. old grandson. Thanks.

I always make popsicles using a package of koolaid and but only 1/2 of the water called for on the back (all the sugar). These are not as hard ... easier to bite into.

Orange Dream Pop

3 c. orange juice or refrigerated orange juice blend
1 (14 oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/4 c. Lemon Juice from Concentrate
10 (5 oz.) paper cups
10 wooden sticks

In large bowl, stir together orange juice, Sweetened condensed milk & lemon juice. Pour into paper cups. Cover each cup with foil. Make small hole in foil with knife. Insert wooden stick or plastic spoon into each cup through hole. Freeze overnight or until firm. To serve, remove foil; tear off paper.

I know lots of people are down on Martha lately, but I've never gone wrong with one of her recipes. I made this week because I was eating WAY too much ice cream trying to keep cool. I'm going to try it with strawberries too as soon as we get some decent ones in our area.

Blackberry Tie Dye Pops
www.marthastewart.com

9 ounces blackberries -- (1 1/2 pints)
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
32 ounces low-fat or nonfat vanilla yogurt

1. Place 7 1/2 ounces blackberries in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, then pass through a fine sieve into a glass measuring cup. (You should have 1/2 cup purée.) Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice; set aside.

2. In the jar of a blender, blend yogurt with remaining tablespoon lemon juice until smooth.

3. Layer each 1/3-cup pop mold with yogurt and purée, adding the rest of the berries along the way. Swirl mixtures together with a knife.

4. Let freeze 25 minutes. Insert wooden pop sticks halfway, and freeze overnight. Pops will keep, frozen, for at least 3 weeks.


*For blueberry pops: Use 5 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries.
*For raspberry pops: Use 3 pints raspberries.
