Add chopped peaches, 1 tablespoon of sugar, ½ cup of water, and 1 ½ tablespoons of lime juice to a blender and blend well until smooth. Pour the mixture into silicone popsicle molds, insert popsicle sticks, and then repeat this process with the chopped strawberries and remaining sugar, water, and lime juice.
Place the silicone molds into the freezer for at least six hours, but preferably overnight. Enjoy!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruit which is past its prime.
Remember that fruit high in water content (such as watermelons) will mean you should add less water to the mixture. They will freeze the same but taste weaker. Not sure how much to add? Well, if the blended fruit mixture tastes good to you, that means the finished popsicles will too.
Some Mexican desserts have a spicy kick. Chili powder isn’t unusual in chocolate desserts, for example. Why not add a couple of thin jalapeño slices for an unusual touch?
Because they can take six or more hours to freeze fully, I like to make them ahead and freeze them overnight. That way you know the following day they’ll be ready to enjoy.
The amount of sugar (or sweetener, if you prefer) is up to you. Sweeter fruits won’t require so much sugar added.
