KIWI ICE POP
You'll need some lollipop sticks for this recipe. We found some interesting yellow serving sticks that worked well at dinner, but if worse comes to worst you can use cocktail sticks.

Steps:
- Top and tail the kiwis. To peel them, gently push a teaspoon under the skin of the kiwi and follow the inside of the skin until it reaches about halfway downthe fruit. Revolve the spoon in a circular motion around the flesh of the kiwi so that the flesh is separated from the skin.
- Remove the teaspoon, turn the kiwi the other way up and apply the same technique until the flesh is entirely separate from the skin. Carefully push the base of the flesh of the kiwi out of the skin. It should slip out fairly easily. If necessary nick the skin with a knife.
- Slice the kiwi crosswise into two or three thick slices. The intricate pattern of the middle of the kiwi should be on show on the cross section. Slowly insert a lollipop stick into the edge of the kiwi until it reaches the middle.
- Put the kiwi slices into a container and place in the freezer, with a little bit of space around them so that they don't stick together. Freeze for at least 3 hours.
- Before serving, remove from the freezer and allow to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring sugar and 1/3 cup water to a boil over high, stirring until sugar dissolves. Transfer to a 4-cup liquid measuring cup or medium bowl and refrigerate until cool, 30 minutes. Stir in puree. Transfer to ice-pop molds and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
Tips:
- Choose ripe kiwis: The riper the kiwis, the sweeter and more flavorful your ice pops will be.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice will give your ice pops a bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Add honey or maple syrup to taste: If you like your ice pops sweeter, you can add some honey or maple syrup to taste. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired sweetness.
- Use popsicle molds or ice cube trays: You can use either popsicle molds or ice cube trays to make your ice pops. If you are using ice cube trays, you will need to insert a popsicle stick into each ice cube before freezing.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours: Your ice pops will need to freeze for at least 4 hours before they are solid. You can freeze them for longer if you want them to be harder.
Conclusion:
These tropical kiwi ice pops are a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for a hot summer day. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and tasty snack, give these ice pops a try!
