    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

    • Basil: Add a few fresh basil leaves to the strawberry puree before mixing with the honey and lime mixture.
    • Balsamic: Add 1-2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the strawberry puree before mixing with the honey and lime mixture.
    • Yogurt: Mix ½ cup of Greek yogurt into the strawberry puree before adding the honey and lime mixture.
    • Mint: Add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the strawberry puree before mixing with the honey and lime mixture.
    • 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.

    Storing

    Wrap each popsicle in plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent freezer burn. Place the popsicles in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent them from absorbing any odors from your freezer. Popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months, although they will be at their best within the first month.
