Chunky Peach Popsicles

This recipe, Chunky Peach Popsicles is from Diabetic Connect.  Make sure to reserve a portion of the peaches as you puree the mixture so the pops will be packed with icy cold, chunky bits of fruit.  For a grown-up twist, try adding 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh mint or basil.

 

Chunky Peach Popsicles Recipe

Chunky Peach Popsicles

1 ¼ lb. ripe peaches, (3-4 medium), halved and pitted

Juice of 1 lemon

¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice

¼ cup sugar, or to taste

¼ tsp. vanilla

 

Coarsely chop peaches in a food processor.  Transfer 1 cup of the chunky peaches to a medium bowl.  Add lemon juice, orange juice and sugar to taste (depending on the sweetness of the peaches) to the food processor.  Puree until smooth.  Add to the bowl with the chunky peaches and stir in the vanilla

Divide the mixture among twelve 2-ounce or eight 3-ounce freezer-pop molds (or small paper cups).  Freeze until beginning to set, about 1 hour.  Insert frozen-treat sticks and freeze until completely firm, about 1-2 hours more.             12 popsicles, 2 oz. each

** Store in freezer for up to 3 weeks. **
