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. —Barbara Stewart, Garland, Texas

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 cups unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 cup unsweetened pineapple or orange juice
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 30 freezer pop molds or 20 paper cups (3 ounces each) and wooden pop sticks

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine water and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in juices.
  2. Fill molds with 1/4 cup juice mixture or cups with 1/3 cup juice mixture. Top molds with holders. If using cups, top with foil and insert sticks through foil. Freeze until firm.
