I know that farmer's markets are just about done now, but I recently made a great discovery that I just have to share.
First of all, i'm thrifty. The only thing that makes me happier than a good deal is a good idea. This is both.
A few weeks back I discovered an indoor farmers market in my area. The deal with this place is that they take fresh fruit that has just a little bit of shelf life left. So i'm able to buy ripe fresh fruit at deep discounts. This week I bought berries. The berries were ripe and ready to be used. The problem is that I didn't have enough uses for the amount of berries that I had. SO - I made mini fruit pops!
I placed all the berries in my blender with a bit of pineapple juice. I processed until smooth.
Next I poured the fruit puree into an ice TUBE tray. I got this one at Walmart for about $5. It's the kind of ice tray used to make ice for water bottles.
I put a craft stick in each tube of juice and froze it for a few hours. Voila! Fruit pop! They're all natural and WAY cheaper than buying the grocery store version.
