You can find the recipe here...yum in the tum!


photo and recipe via. Country Living


Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup(s) water

1 cup(s) sugar

4 kiwis

1/2 cup(s) (about 4 limes) fresh lime juice

Directions:


Make the syrup:

Combine 1 cup of water with the sugar in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil. Set aside to cool.


Make the ice pops:

Using a paring knife, cut kiwis into quarters, peel, and remove the white core and seeds from each piece. Place the seeded kiwi pieces in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and purée to a liquid -- about 1 minute. Combine the puréed kiwi, 3/4 cup syrup, lime juice, and remaining 3/4 cup water in a large bowl. Pour the mixture into molds and freeze until solid -- about 6 hours.

Introducing Oliver & Lilly's heat wave series:

Dear mother nature,
I was wondering if it's possible to just send a quick little breeze every once in awhile, nothing fancy, just a quick little refreshing wisp of air so we can keep our cool on.

P.S. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,
Oliver & Lilly's
