Ingredients

- ¼ cup water, or more as needed
- 2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Blend blueberries, water, honey, and lemon juice in a blender until nearly smooth, adding more water if necessary. Press through a fine-mesh sieve to remove skins and seeds.
- Pour mixture into eight 3-ounce ice pop molds or paper cups. Insert sticks into molds. Freeze, 8 hours to overnight.
- If using paper cups, cover each cup with foil. Cut a small slit in foil and insert a wooden stick into each pop.
- For a watermelon-lime version, use 3 cups chopped watermelon and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
- For a peach-orange version, use 3 cups chopped peaches and 1 tablespoon orange juice.
Reviews
I made the watermelon and the peach popsicles. They were refreshingly fruity, not syrupy sweet. Perfect for a hot summer day.
