The ocean here is ice and snow, but that doesn't mean we can't make this cold weather useful!  These delicious tropical popsicles may not taste so great in the snowy weather that America gets this time of year, but they are cold, so why can't I do em when the weather is cold too?  Try these any time of year you feel like having a cold fruity snack.

To start, gather up a variety of fruits, such as pineapples, oranges, apples, papayas, watermelon, or any other fruit you think will taste good in your popsicles.  Here is a picture of the fruits we used:



After you have all the fruits together, pick a fruit to make into juice.  We did pineapple juice, but you could use orange juice, watermelon juice, or maybe even apple juice.  Anyways, after you make some juice, cut up the other fruits you've selected into squares with a knife.  I didn't get any pictures of this part, I'm afraid.  Next, pour the juice into popsicle makers, or cups, but only fill them up to about half full, maybe a little more.  Afterwards, put the squares of fruit into your containers, and pour out a little of the juice if they overflow (this is why you only fill your containers halfway).  Then, put the popsicles into the freezer overnight, or, if you really can't wait that long, until the juice is hard.  When they're done, they should look sort of like this:



Then, all you have to do is enjoy them!  Here is a picture of me enjoying a popsicle.



Hope you like them!
