Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup white peaches, or white nectarines, about 2 or 3 whole fruits
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 whole strawberries, sliced
  • 1¼ cup blueberries, divided

Instructions

  • Make a simple syrup by combining 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup sugar in a microwave safe container. Cook in the microwave for 1 minute, stir and cook an additional minute. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  • Bring a pot of water to a full boil, then reduce to a simmer. (Prepare an ice bath while the water heats up.) Carefully lower the peaches into the water and blanch for about 30 seconds. Remove them to the ice bath to cool. Peel the skin away by hand. Cut a small slit with a pairing knife if needed. Cut the peach in half and twist it away from the pit, then chop and measure out 1 cup.
  • Using a mini food processor or small blender, puree the chopped strawberries with 2 tsp of lemon juice and 4 tbsp of simple syrup. Pour the strawberry puree into the popsicle molds. Place a couple of sliced strawberries into each mold, pressing it against the sides and not submerging them completely into the strawberry puree (this is so we can see strawberry slices peeking out once the popsicles are unmolded). Pop this into the freezer and move on to the next fruit.
  • Rinse the bowl of the food processor or blender and repeat with the peaches, blending them with 2 tsp of lemon juice and 3 tbsp of simple syrup. Pour this into the popsicle molds. Drop a few whole blueberries into each mold. Pop back in the freezer.
  • Rinse and repeat with the blueberries. Again, blending them with 2 tsp of lemon juice and 3 tbsp of simple syrup. Pour this into the molds.
  • Cover and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best.
