Sick and tired of that nasty heatwave? Try cooling off with this easy and all natural fruit popsicles! Don't be afraid to experiment with flavors either...try adding herbs to the syrup or adding fresh fruit pieces to the popsicle molds or even mix different fruits together. Just start with this basic recipe and the sky is the limit!

Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1-2 lbs. fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, honeydew, peaches/nectarines, kiwi, pineapple, etc)
3 sprigs of fresh herbs to infuse syrup (mint, basil, rosemary, etc.) OPTIONAL

Directions
To make simple syrup, gently heat sugar and water, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; let cool.
Rinse, prepare, and puree fruit. (Mash hulled berries, deseed honeydew, pit and roast peaches at 350F for 20 minutes and mash with or without skins)
For every cup of pureed fruit, add 1/3-1/2 cup simple syrup. Taste as you go, adding more fruit or syrup as needed. (keep in mind that when they freeze they will lose a little bit of sweetness, so you might want to make them a little sweeter than you would like)
Pour mixture into molds, add sticks, and freeze.
