Who doesn't love popsicles when it's hot out? Earlier this month the temperatures in the whole of the Netherlands increased to about 26-30 degrees and it was HOT! Supermarkets were selling popsicles on big discounts and I purchased them as well.
Got home and enjoyed them, then Lennox looked at me longingly and wanted a taste. Uh... ok lemme check the ingredients list: "Water, sugar, glucose-fructose syrup etc etc"... YIPES! So it was a quick no no since (refined) sugar was on the list. I gave him ONE lick then said sorry, no more for you. I gulped it down then he started crying. Haha.
So the next day I bought a popsicle mould from the Action for like €1,99 and I made these beauties!
Ingredients list:
- 3 oranges
- a handful of grapes, cut lengthwise
I juiced the 3 oranges into a bowl, and i also left some bits of pulp in it as well. I don't own a juicer so I actually had a good tip from this (indian??) guy from youtube to juice it. It worked easily!
Once juiced i poured it into the moulds and added the cut grapes into the mould (the smaller, the better! Big chunks of fruit might break the popsicle once frozen). It filled up 5 of my popsicle moulds.
Leave it in the fridge for at least 4 hours! And voila! So easy to make and so much healthier as well, since you can control what you add to it. I'll experiment with more combinations when the weather gets better :P

| It was so yummy i had 2 on one night ;) |
I had a bit of trouble to get the popsicle out of the mould so one tip to getting the popsicle out was to hold the mould under running water and use the warmth of your hand to loosen the sides of the popsicle.
No mould at home? Before i bought the mould i was also contemplating these 5 methods to make popsicles without a mould. Seems pretty easy to make as well.
Anyone tried any interesting combinations?
