STRAWBERRY LEMONADE POPSICLES
INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped strawberries
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine 3/4 cup water and sugar in a sauce pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.
Using a blender, puree strawberries with 3 tablespoon of lemon juice. Push juice through a sieve to filter out seeds.
In a pitcher, combine sugar syrup, strawberry juice, the rest of the water and lemon juice. Stir.
Divide strawberry lemonade evenly between popsicle molds. Insert sticks and freeze for about six hours.
Dip molds in hot water to release popsicles.
