Thinking A Great Deal About Home Made Popsicles


Reflecting on eating hardships in Madrid during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and what he missed most about home, Langston Hughes wrote “I found myself thinking a great deal about hamburgers, hot dogs, sugared doughnuts and ice cream—things one can get on almost any American Corner. . . .” His mention of ice cream reminded me of a cold treat I like to concoct for my children on a hot day—home made fruit juice popsicles! I take some frozen strawberries, pineapples, and peaches or whatever kind of fruit I have and chuck them in the blender with a fruit juice (Orange, Mango, and Pineapple Juice work particularly well) for short time. Then I pour them into a Popsicle maker available at most department stores. The Popsicles are inexpensive, natural, and super healthy. My 4 and 6 year old (along with their parents and grandmother) love them!
