With all that watermelon I’ve been consuming this summer in mango watermelon lemonade and salads, I had to find some other great ways to eat our fruit. These patriotic ice pops are made from all-natural healthy ingredients and your kids are sure to love them. Make some for the 4th of July or Memorial day to show your love for the Red, White, and Blue!
Simple Syrup is just a handle liquid sweetener that you can make and store at home for things like drinks and snacks. I prefer the natural sweetness from the fruit but if you find that your fruit hasn’t hit the ripe sweetness, you can add in some simple syrup to substitute. To make Simple Syrup, you just heat 1 part water to 1 part sugar in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Cool the syrup and store in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
