Popsicles

Hooray for summer! Let's cool down! If you plan to make these regularly I recommend investing in a popsicle mold. Each recipe makes 6-8 popsicles. These recipes are from "Sunset Magazine"

Strawberry-Cream
In a blender whirl 2 cups rinsed, hulled strawberries until smooth. Push through a fine strainer into a 1-quart glass pyrex; discard seeds. Return berry puree to blender and whirl in a 1/2 cup light sour cream, 2-3 tblspn sugar, and 2 tsp lemon juice until smooth.

Mango-Coconut
In a blender, whirl 1 1/4 cups mango chunks, 3/4 cup canned coconut milk, 1-2 tblspn sugar, and 1 tblspn lime juice until smooth.

Raspberry-Orange
In a blender, whirl 3 cups rinsed, drained raspberries until smooth. Push through a fine strainer into a 1-quart pyrex; discard seeds. Add 2/3 cup orange juice and 3-4 tblspn to berry puree; stir until sugar is dissolved.

For all purees, pour mixture into popsicle molds. Set molds in freezer, making sure they're level and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.
