How To Make Homemade Blackberry And Grape Popsicles
With just 2 ingredients, these grape blackberry popsicles couldn't be any easier to make! To start, destem all the grapes, add them to a food processor with fresh blackberries, and blend until smooth. Once the fruit is blended, pour it through a sieve. Running your finger around the sieve will help you get as much juice as possible.
Pour the juice into your popsicle molds, insert popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours. When the popsicles are completely frozen, serve and enjoy!
Note: Depending on the type of popsicle molds you have, you may need run hot water on the side of the molds before you can remove the pops.
What to Serve/Pair With Grape And Blackberry Popsicles
These grape blackberry popsicles are the perfect summer treat! Serve them on their own or pair them with other fresh summer fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe, or honeydew.

- For a warm and spicy pop, add a pinch of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves.
- Substitute red grapes for green grapes.

Sugar-Free Blackberry Grape Popsicle FAQs
Do I have to strain the grape and blackberry mixture?
No. If you prefer a smoother popsicle, then straining is recommended. Straining the grape and blackberry mixture is entirely optional. You can skip this step if you don't mind a little bit of texture.
I can't find popsicle molds. Is there something else I can use in their place?
Of course! If you don't have popsicle molds, try using small paper cups or plastic yogurt cups. Insert a popsicle stick into the center of each cup and freeze until solid. Once frozen, peel away the cup to reveal your homemade popsicle!
Can I make popsicles without a food processor?
Yes! You can use a blender if you don't have a food processor. However, you may need to add a little bit of water to get more of a juice-like consistency.
