Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I'm sure lots of others will respond on the gelatin piece, so I'm going to talk about the popsicle piece. There's a wonderful popsicle recipe that I've used for my son - he LOVES them (19 months). The recipe was from a Vegetarian Times magazine this summer, which I've modified a little. Here's how it goes: Fresh Fruit Yogurt Pops 01-JUL-05 p65 SERVES 8 -- Low-fat Corn syrup keeps these super-simple treats from developing ice crystals or freezing into blocks (NOTE: Use maple syrup or honey instead and get the same results). Feel free to play around with fruit combinations. 2 cups low-fat vanilla (Soy) yogurt 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup corn syrup/maple syrup/ or honey 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit, such as raspberries, pitted cherries, blueberries, etc. Add some soy milk too in order to get the right consistency, and added nutrition Directions: 1. Place yogurt, vanilla, lemon juice, corn syrup and 1 cup fruit in blender or food processor, and purée until smooth. Add remaining fruit, and pulse 3 or 4 times, or until fruit is broken down into small pieces. 2. Pour mixture into 8 1/2-cup frozen-pop molds. Place top on mold; insert wooden sticks. Freeze at least 4 hours. These are SO yummy! I've used lots of combinations -- lime soy yogurt with blueberries, vanilla soy yogurt with mangoes, etc. Anything goes! My son will always eat a popsicle when no other food or snack will satisfy him. He thinks it's such a treat, and it's actually pretty healthful! Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hey! I clipped that recipe from the magazine too! It is great! I left out the corn syrup because it is soooo unhealthy, and didn't add any other sweetener at all. They were still great! , HLANE@T... wrote: > > I'm sure lots of others will respond on the gelatin piece, so I'm going to talk > about the popsicle piece.
