MEXICAN PALETAS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place half of the fruit, sugar, water, and lime juice into a blender , and blend until smooth.
• Spoon the remaining chopped fruit into ice pop molds, then add the blended mixture, leaving about 1/2-inch of headspace for expansion.
• Place the molds into the freezer and allow at least 6 hours for your treats to firm up completely. If your molds don't have built-in Popsicle sticks (or you are using paper cups or some other receptacle as molds), take your pops out of the freezer after about an hour and insert wooden sticks into the slushy mix; return to the freezer.
• Remove the pops from the molds and enjoy!
