Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

3 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen; 1 cup frozen and 2 cups fresh recommended)
2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (approximately ½ of a lemon)
¼ to ⅓ cup Honey (adjust according to sweetness of berries)

Instructions

Blend Ingredients: Put all of the blueberries, lemon juice, and honey into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
Pour into Molds: Pour the pureed mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about ¼ inch of space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Initial Freeze: Place the popsicle molds in the freezer for approximately 1 hour to start firming up the mixture.
Add Lid and Sticks: After 1 hour, place the lid on the molds and push the sticks in, leaving about 1 ¼ inches of the sticks exposed above the mold.
Freeze Completely: Freeze the popsicles for an additional 4 to 6 hours or preferably overnight to ensure they are fully set.
Release Popsicles: To remove the popsicles from the molds, gently run warm water on the bottom of the molds for a few seconds. Then try to pull out a popsicle carefully. If it doesn’t come out easily, run warm water for a few more seconds and try again.

Notes

You can adjust the honey amount based on the sweetness of your berries and personal preference.
Using a mix of fresh and frozen blueberries adds depth to the flavor and helps the texture.
Ensure to leave space in the mold for the mixture to expand when freezing.
Running warm water on the mold base only for a few seconds helps release the popsicles without melting them too much.
For a fun twist, add some fresh whole blueberries into the molds before pouring the puree.
Use silicone molds for easier removal if available.
