These cool treats are really more of a healthy snack than a dessert,
and I hope you'll have strawberry shortcake as the dessert with your
Fourth of July dinner. These popsicles can be made in special molds
made for this purpose, or you can make them in paper cups with a
plastic spoon just like your mother used to do.

Fresh Fruit Popsicles

1 1/2 lbs (675 g) fresh strawberries, peaches,
nectarines, melons, or berries of your choice
1 cup (250 ml) water, orange, or apple juice
3/4 cup (180 ml) sugar
1/2 cup (125 ml) plain yogurt

Prepare the fruits for the blender by hulling, removing the seeds, and
peeling as determined by the fruits you use. Combine all ingredients
in an electric blender or food processor and puree. Divide among
eight 5-ounce (140 ml) paper cups, filling them about 3/4 full. Place
in the freezer until partially frozen, 60 to 90 minutes. Insert a
plastic spoon, handle up, in each the center of each cup and freeze
until solid. To serve, peel the paper cup away. Makes 8 popsicles.
