Jedi Juice Pops

Makes 14 pops.

INGREDIENTS

14

small fresh or frozen strawberries

11/4

cups fruit juice, such as orange, cranberry, apple, fruit punch, or lemonade

1. If you are using fresh strawberries, cut off their stems with a small knife. Place 1 strawberry in each ice-cube compartment of an ice-cube tray. Fill the ice-cube tray with the juice.

2. Put the tray in the freezer and freeze until almost firm, about 2 hours.

3. Push a popsicle stick (or a toothpick) into the center of each cube, through the strawberry. Return to the freezer and freeze until firm, about 1 hour longer.

4. Pop out the juice bars and eat!

Variation: You can use banana slices, seedless grapes, or orange segments cut into chunks instead of strawberries.
