With the overpowering aroma of stone fruit at the farmers market and a particularly warm weekend, I decided it was the ideal time to make one of my favorite summertime obsessions: Popsicles. To keep it simple and showcase their pure deliciousness, I pureed peaches with tart lime juice and refreshing, home-grown pineapple mint. Because the peaches are perfectly ripe and juicy, you hardly need any sugar to sweeten the pops. If you aren't a peach person, consider another in-season fruit, like plums, cherries, or strawberries. Popsicles are irresistible on hot days, and the only way to beat the next heatwave is to keep reading.
Original Recipe
Ingredients
3 ripe peaches
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
1/4-1/2 cup sugar, depending on desired sweetness
Directions
- Slice peaches and remove pit. Place peaches, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of mint and 1/4 cup sugar in blender and pureed until well incorporated. Stir in rest of mint.
- Fill Popsicle molds with the puree and place in freezer.
- Wait 4-6 hours to freeze completely and enjoy.
Makes 5-6 popsicles depending on the size of peaches.

1These look very good!
2I was wondering when you were going to start the Popsicle recipes, I tried almost all of them last year and loved all of them. Please keep them coming!
3I just got 4 gallons of strawberries from my inlaws' farm and I was wondering what I was going to do with them all. I'm going to try these with strawberries instead of the peaches...they sound delicious!!
4My best favorite fruits are cherries & blueberries... I'm gonna mix 'em together & enjoy.
5these look hilariously like frozen meat, but they sound divine.
6It's been hot, hot, hot here in Scandinavia, and we have no air conditioning. Yumsugar to the rescue with popsicle recipes!!! Going to have to run to the store for fresh fruit and popsicle sticks.
7I need to get a popsicle mold. It should be easy to find a cute one. They seem like a big trend this summer.
8eshellmoyer, I TOTALLY thought that too!! I thought, beef patty popsicles???
9I just made these today using my strawberries. I must say, the strawberry ones look a little prettier...they're solid deep pink and don't look as much like meat, lol.
10Sounds like these would be delish and refreshing. I need to get a pipsicle mold somehwhere - hmm. I usually buy my own popsicles w. fruit chunks but these sound wonderful - I too thought these looked like meat pops! hahaha.
11I bet these would be GREAT with mango, too!
12I just got a ton of plums and peaches from my MIL. I will have to get a popsicle mold, but I can't wait to make these!
13Sounds very yummy!
