Homemade fresh pureed frozen pineapple popsicles in white bowl with ice sitting on green polka dot background

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups of fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 8–10 lemons)
  • 2 cups of sugar or sugar substitute
  • 4 cups of water
  • lemon zest (optional)

 

Directions

1. Blend all ingredients together in a blender.

2. Pour blended mixture into several 4 oz plastic cups. Place cups in the freezer until mixture has frozen.

3. Remove cups of limber from the freezer and serve. Serving tip: remove each frozen limber from its cup and put it back into the cup upside down. This makes the limber stick out of the cup so it’s easier to eat.

 

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

You can also use a plastic paleta (popsicle) mold to freeze your limber instead of plastic cups.
