Ingredients

• 1 small blood orange, peeled and segmented
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup 1% milk

Preparation

Step 1

Cut orange slices lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Boil sugar and water in saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat to simmer, add orange pieces, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Combine blood orange–sugar syrup (including orange slices), orange juice, and milk in a bowl. Pour mixture into ice-pop molds, insert sticks, and freeze for about 8 hours.
