We used to buy different flavours of popsicle from a person who used to bring drive through icecream vehicle. Me and my sisters will have those everyday in the afternoon. These will be liked heaven when had on a hot summery day. My favorite in that is grapes, my sister will by orange and milk flavoured one..They were delicious..
I bought a set of popsicle mould years back and didn't used it even a single time. Few days back i bought some fresh seedless grapes and though to use in making popsicles. This actually makes about 7 popsicles, but i had only 4 popsicle mould. So I made some grape granita too. I will post that soon, please wait for it. These popsicles are so sweet, fresh and better than the one which we buy from the icecream vehicle.. Try it out and let me know the result..

Can we do d same for orange popsicle by replacing grapes with orange..can I have d measurements of orange juice and sugar
Aarthi
@AnonymousFor one cup of orange juice use a little less than 1/2 cup of sugar syrup. You can adjust the sugar syrup always.
