I recently bought a set of Tovolo Ice Cream Pop molds.
I loved making my own baby food so I thought I would try my hand at making my own popsicles. That way, I know EXACTLY what is going into them. These molds are about $10 and I like the fact that you don't have to buy popsicle sticks to go with it. You just reuse the bases that look like ice cream cones!
I just whipped up a batch of blueberry popsicles. Here is what I did:
One container of organic blueberries (about 2.5 cups)
1/3 cup of sugar
about 2 tsp. fresh lime juice
3 TB water
I threw everything in a bowl and used my immersion blender to puree. I then put a fine mesh strainer on top of small pitcher and pressed the mixture through the strainer to extract the puree and keep out the chunkier pieces. Then, I just poured the mixture evenly into the four molds.
I just popped them in the freezer and I'll check back in four hours to see how we did. Hopefully, Noodle will feel good enough to try one. I thought that sucking on a homemade blueberry pop on a hot sick day at home might be comforting. I'll let you know how it turns out!!!

Oh, really neat! Before reading the post it took me a minute to figure out what it was. I'm definitely going to look on-line to see if I can find some.
I think I found mine on Amazon. Notice I didn't link to them anywhere! No sales pitch here. Just wanted to pass on a fun idea.
