Fruit salad ice pops — Sweet moments, naturally.

Ingredients

2 kiwis
2 peaches
1 cup strawberries
½ cup raspberries
½ cup blueberries
2 cups apple juice

Directions

Slice the fruit.
Peel the kiwis and peaches and cut them into ¼-inch slices. Cut the strawberries into thirds.
Line the molds.
Press strawberry, kiwi and peach slices against the sides and bottom of each mold, tucking in blueberries and raspberries to fill the gaps. Use a popsicle stick to push the fruit flat against the sides so it shows, and pack in as much as you can.
Add the juice.
Fill the molds with apple juice, leaving about ¼ inch at the top for it to expand. Push a popsicle stick into the middle of each, between the layers of fruit.
Freeze.
Freeze overnight, or for at least 4 to 6 hours.
Unmold.
Run the molds under hot water to release the pops.

Before you indulge

Use Miracle Berry

Just before eating, take 2–3 freeze-dried halves. Chew gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds.

Discard any pit if necessary.

Good to know

Miraculin, the natural protein in miracle berry, can make sour foods like lemon taste sweet without adding sugar. For the best results, take 1–2 halves and follow the directions on your pack.

Tangy turns sweet. More possibilities.
