    Expert Tips

    • Use ripe strawberries. The sweeter and juicier the strawberries, the better the flavor of your popsicles will be.
    • Adjust the sweetness. You can adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on how sweet you want your popsicles to be.
    • Experiment with other fruits. You can try making this recipe with other fruits, such as raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries, to create different flavor combinations.
    • Use fresh lime juice. Using fresh lime juice will give your popsicles a brighter and fresher flavor than using bottled lime juice.

    Variations

    • Strawberry Basil: Add a few fresh basil leaves to the strawberry puree before mixing with the honey and lime mixture.
    • Strawberry Balsamic: Add 1-2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the strawberry puree before mixing with the honey and lime mixture.
    • Strawberry Yogurt: Mix ½ cup of Greek yogurt into the strawberry puree before adding the honey and lime mixture.
    • Strawberry Mint: Add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the strawberry puree before mixing with the honey and lime mixture.
    • Strawberry Peach: Blend 1 cup of sliced strawberries with 1 cup of sliced peaches in a food processor. Mix with the honey and lime mixture and pour into popsicle molds.
