Apple Cider & Pomegranate Popsicles {and a Give Away}

Friday, October 25, 2013 16:01

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

These naturally sweetened popsicles are a perfect early fall treat. We are loving the cooler weather here in The Valley of the Sun (by cooler I mean in the 90′s) and sitting out on the back patio with one of these popsicles is a special after school treat for the boys. Little miss thinks that “Popsicles are the World’s greatest of all foods ever!” I’ll have to agree with her on this one.

With the overload of sweets and candy that seem to be everywhere in late October I am especially happy to give these to my kiddos for a special treat. Apple cider and pomegranate have lots of vitamins and antioxidants to fuel the bod.

I really loved the combination of sweet, spiced apple cider and

mouth puckering tart pomegranate in these.

Zuko sent me one of their pop makers to trial and I gotta say, I’m very impressed! Not only can you pour just about any combination of flavors and ingredients in the Zoku and have a cold, sweet treat in less than 10 minutes but they don’t come out freezer burned and rock hard like the popsicles I’ve made in the past. Totally cool…. get it….cool? O.K. fine 80′s humor aside these popsicles rock! ;}

You Will Need

1 cup vanilla almond milk (helps the pops to not be like an ice cube in texture)
1 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons real maple syrup (not the artificially flavored kind)
1/2 teaspoon real vanilla
dash of cinnamon
1/2 cup pomegranate juice

Pour the pomegranate into the Zoku maker and let sit 5-6 minutes
Blend the remaining ingredients in a blender till combined.
Using a small funnel, pour the apple mixture into the Zoku, on top of the now frozen pomegranate juice.
Wait another 5-6 minutes and watch as they freeze in front of your eyes on your countertop!
