Refreshing homemade blackberry lemonade popsicles filled with fresh-squeezed lemonade and blackberries. A delicious icy treat to enjoy year-round.

HOW DO I SWEETEN POPSICLES?

There are many different ways you can sweeten popsicles. For this yummy blackberry lemonade popsicle recipe, I use one of two sweeteners.

1. Sugar – inexpensive, makes these popsicles taste like traditional lemonade (no honey flavor).
2. Honey – all-natural, raw honey. Dissolves very easy and has very few sugar crystals.

Both sweeteners are great, it really just comes down to what you prefer. If you don’t like the flavor of honey, stick with sugar. If you do like honey and have some in the pantry, use honey.

One thing to note if you use honey. Honey is a bit sweeter than regular granulated sugar. Which means, if you use honey, you will need less.

Typically, you can replace sugar in a recipe with honey by using 3 parts honey to every 4 parts sugar (i.e. 3/4 cup honey for every 1 cup granulated white sugar).

This blackberry lemonade popsicle recipe is so good. Not only is it easy to make but it’s also reasonably inexpensive especially if you have a lemon tree, blackberry plants or find some awesome summer deals on ingredients!

HERE’S A LIST OF THE INGREDIENTS AND MY COST:

Prices for supplies may vary depending on location and store you purchase groceries from.  I try to shop bulk food stores, use coupons, watch ads and shop sales (like case lot), buy supplies in bulk to save money in the long run and use homegrown produce and herbs when available. These are a great way to stay within my grocery budget without sacrificing flavor or nutrition.

• Lemons (lemons on sale at Rancho Market for 2lb/$1) – $0.50
• Sugar – $0.16
• Blackberries (on sale at Sprouts Farms Market for 88¢ for 6 oz) – $0.88
