Time: 7 + hours Yield: 6 popsicles Ingredients: 1 ½ cups fresh squeezed orange juice (5-7 oranges) ½ cup water ¼ cup granulated sugar Sliced strawberries (optional) Directions:
  1. Slice each orange in half then squeeze out as much juice as possible.
  2. Once you’ve squeezed enough oranges to have 1 ½ cups, pour it into a larger bowl with a spout.
  3. Add the water and sugar to the orange juice and stir until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and top off the mold with the popsicle sticks. If you want to add strawberries, slice a couple strawberries into thin pieces and drop into the popsicle molds.
  5. Move the filled popsicle molds to the freezer and let freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
  6. After at least 6 hours of freezing, run the outside of the popsicle molds under hot water to loosen them up. This will make it easier to pull them out of the molds.
