Fruit Juice Pops
Says Barbara Stewart ofGarland, Texas: “I’ve used this recipe for years as a refreshing treat. My children enjoyed these pops more than any store-bought ones I ever brought home. They taste great with either pineapple or orange juice.” Try freezing and serving in cups made from hollowed-out oranges.
