Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and chop the fresh mixed fruit into small, manageable pieces to ensure a smooth blend and uniform texture.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, honey or agave nectar, and water. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated, ensuring even sweetness and flavor.
- Fill Molds: Pour the blended fruit mixture evenly into popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks carefully to keep them centered for easy handling once frozen.

Notes
- Use any seasonal fresh fruit you prefer for varied flavors.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or agave nectar according to taste.
- For a chunkier texture, blend the fruit partially instead of fully pureeing it.
- To make vegan popsicles, use agave nectar instead of honey.
- Ensure popsicle sticks are properly secured before freezing to prevent slips.
