Fruit Juice Pops

By newbaucher

Says Barbara Stewart ofGarland, Texas: “I’ve used this recipe for years as a refreshing treat. My children enjoyed these pops more than any store-bought ones I ever brought home. They taste great with either pineapple or orange juice.” Try freezing and serving in cups made from hollowed-out oranges.

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 4 cups unsweetened apple juice
• 1 cup unsweetened pineapple or orange juice
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 12 Popsicle molds or paper cups (3 ounces each) and Popsicle sticks

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, combine water and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in juices.
Fill molds or cups with 1/4 cup juice mixture; top with holders or insert sticks into cups. Freeze. Yield: 1 dozen.
