    Homemade Popsicles are the best refreshing treat out there and these fruit pops have only 3 ingredients. Seedless blackberry apple pops are a showstopper. They're easy to make and are the perfect naturally sweet refreshment for hot summer days.

    There should be popsicles in every refrigerator during the hot months of the year. I am the new cheerleader of all things cool and refreshing.

    Pops are so simple and the flavors are just about endless. They are the ultimate pleasure for helping a person cool off during hot summer days.

    When you have a popsicle it feeds all your cravings for a sweet with minimal calories. You can't beat that!

    I tried to make citrus orange sangria popsicles a couple of months ago and found out that liquor doesn't freeze. Didn't I know that?

    I mean, I remember Martha Stewart when she froze a bottle of vodka in a block of ice. Ding-a-ling here.

    That failed sangria popsicle sure was a good slushie though. Hey! Guess what I'm going to have on the blog soon? Sweet Sangria slushies 🙂

    Back to homemade popsicles ... sweet, refreshing, healthy, heaven.

    💭 Popsicle molds

    • I have two favorites for adult-sized popsicles and there are lots of good small popsicle molds for kids too!
    • The first one is the traditional shaped mold where the popsicle is wider than it is fat.  It's Norpro Frozen Ice Pop Maker. To release the popsicles from the mold you have to hold it under hot water a bit longer than with Zoku's mold. It has more ridges so that must be why.
    • Now you have a nice long stick to hold on to. And it's so classic. I have seven different popsicle recipes using this popsicle mold on the blog.
    • My favorite is the one that is used for these Seedless Blackberry Apple Popsicles. They are Zoku Popsicle molds. You can see how easily the pops slide out of the mold.
    • I use popsicle sticks with those too but the molds come with their own stick that works perfectly.
    • You can see what the popsicle sticks look like that come with the molds at this link for Dairy Free Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Popsicles.  They look nice.
    • These smaller popsicle molds are perfect for little ones. You even get 18 Whonline molds so that you can use up all of your recipes at once.
    Popsicle molds are round and bright lime green and they have popsicle sticks coming out of the top.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Blackberries - frozen or picking and storing

    You can use frozen or fresh blackberries for this recipe. I used frozen because I didn't time it just right for the fresh ones.

    Blackberries only turn black when they are fully ripe; green, red, or purple berries are not yet ready.

    So, what do you do with unready berries? Simple! Just leave them alone.

    Luckily, blackberries always seem to hit the grocery stores when they are just right. One of those little see-thru boxes would be perfect for this recipe.

    Make sure you make the recipe soon after purchasing fresh blackberries because they do perish quickly. You've got about three days.

    Or do what I did this time around. Use frozen ones. They turned out just right for these popsicles.

    Blackberries do have tiny seeds that cause trouble for some people so go ahead and make these seedless blackberry pops and enjoy them. Everyone else will too.

    💭 Health benefits of blackberries

    Like other berries, blackberries are rich in fiber, which plays a great role in enhancing digestion.

    They also have vitamin C, a fantastic nutrient for improving skin and general body health.

    Other nutrients in blackberries include vitamin K and manganese.

    📋 Ingredients

    • Red apples and their juice are a wonderful combination with blackberries.
    • Blackberries are tart to sweet all at once and the juice is a beautiful deep purple.
    • Apple juice adds sweetness and liquid that makes the frozen treats just right.

    🔪 Instructions

    • Peel and core the apples. They'll be going into a blender.
    • Place in a blender with 1 ½ cups apple juice. Blend until very fine so that you can save most of the ingredients when you strain the mix.
    • Strain through a fine sieve. You can use your fingers to swirl the apple in the sieve to get some of the smallest fibers to go through. There will be some pulp left that you can throw away.
    • Place another cup of the apple juice and the blackberries in a blender and blend until very smooth.
    • Strain through a sieve and, again, use your fingers to swirl the blackberries to push as much as your can through the sieve. There will be only about 2 tablespoons of the pulp left.
    • You don't have to make these seedless but it only takes a few seconds and it raises the bar to gourmet. You'll love them.
    • Mix the two strained fruits together and pour into your popsicle molds.
    • I used Zoku's mold and you can click here to check them out - Zoku's Classic Pop Molds
    • Freeze for about 6 hours and enjoy whenever you like.
