- 1 3/4 cup(s) water
- 1 cup(s) sugar
- 4 kiwis
- 1/2 cup(s) (about 4 limes) fresh lime juice
Directions
- Make the syrup: Combine 1 cup of water with the sugar in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil. Set aside to cool.
- Make the ice pops:
Using a paring knife, cut kiwis into quarters, peel, and remove the
white core and seeds from each piece. Place the seeded kiwi pieces in
the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and purée to a
liquid -- about 1 minute. Combine the puréed kiwi, 3/4 cup syrup, lime
juice, and remaining 3/4 cup water in a large bowl. Pour the mixture
into molds and freeze until solid
