Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, peaches, raspberries, pineapple)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (raw, unfiltered with ‘the mother’)
- 1/3 cup sugar or honey (or maple syrup for refined sugar-free option)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- Optional: Fresh herbs (e.g., basil, mint, thyme)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine 1 cup of fresh fruit, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, and 1/3 cup of sugar or honey. Blend until smooth. Add herbs if desired.
- Pour the mixture into a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl to remove seeds or pulp. Press the mixture through with a spatula.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the strained mixture and stir well. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed.
- Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion during freezing.
- Insert popsicle sticks into the molds. If molds don’t have built-in stick holders, freeze for about an hour before inserting sticks.
- Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- Run molds under warm water for a few seconds to release the popsicles before serving.

[‘Use ripe or overripe fruit for better flavor.’, ‘Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.’, ‘Experiment with layering different fruit mixtures in the molds for a fun twist.’, ‘Fresh herbs like mint, basil, or rosemary can add a gourmet touch.’]
