Homemade fruit popsicles like we used to make when I was a child. It was so nice to prepare them at home with our own hands, fill the molds with lemonade (when mom needed to use up a lot of lemons) or simply with water and sugar, and then eagerly wait for them to be ready. Back then, to be honest, many homes didn’t have a refrigerator. When we finally could enjoy this great and extraordinary invention, we experienced all the pleasure of enjoying popsicles to refresh ourselves in the hot summer. It’s beautiful and exciting to remember those moments, and I still occasionally enjoy keeping this tradition alive. Even my daughters were so happy to participate in the preparation of homemade fruit popsicles and enjoy them. Now I also make them with fruit pieces and leftover fruit salad, and they are cheerful and colorful.
