By prairiemama

Ingredients

• 3 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb (1/2-inch pieces)
• 1/4 cup sugar

In a large saucepan, bring the rhubarb, sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until mixture is blended and thick. Cool. Set aside 3/4 cup (save the remaining rhubarb for another use).
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, applesauce, strawberries, reserved rhubarb mixture and food coloring if desired. Fill molds or cups with about 1/4 cup fruit mixture; top with holders or insert a Popsicle stick into each cup. Freeze. Yield: 8 ice pops.
