Peaches are in season and will make a perfect cold treat on a hot day. Popsicles are a summer must, but most are packed full of sugar with little to no nutritional value. These popsicles are a breeze to make and count as a 1/2 serving of fruit!
Ingredients
- 1¼ pounds ripe peaches (3-4 medium peaches), halved and pitted
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
- Coarsely chop peaches in a food processor.
- Transfer 1 cup of the chunky peaches to a medium bowl. Add 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 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, and then insert frozen-treat sticks. Freeze until completely firm, about 1 hour more.
