Summer Snacks

Summer is here and it is HOT here in Georgia!  That hasn’t slowed Judah’s appetite for snacks though so I had to do a little digging in my recipe binder to find homemade treats that don’t require baking.  I made a whole list of yummy snacks I can’t wait to make that are both delicious and will keep me away from the hot oven!

:: All Fruit Peach & Pomegranate Popsicles

1 qt of frozen fresh peaches (sliced)* in sugar
Pom Pomegranate Juice

I had some fresh peaches that I put away in the freezer last summer by cutting them up and putting a little sprinkling of sugar on them. I have used them in the past for cobblers, muffins, and smoothies. I decided to make them into popsicles this time! You could use canned peaches or store bought frozen if you don’t have fresh. Of course, you can’t beat fresh!

I thawed them out just a little by running warm water over the bag. Then, I put them in the food processor and blended them all up. I placed the peach puree in popsicle molds and let just a little space at the top.

I poured a small amount of pomegranate juice into the molds before sealing them up and popping them into the freezer. These are delicious! Similar to the all fruit popsicles you can buy at the store…only better!
