I don't get it - a straw in the base to slurp up juice as it melts?
You don't eat Popsicles when they're still in the molds - is the
holder where the straw is fastened a cup, so melted stuff can collect
there?

That's about right. Look on the right sidebar of this site; this is
similar to the mold I have.

Thanks for the reminder. We don't have any of the moulds in the house
but will look to get some. Used to freeze all sorts of fruit juices but
the fruit cocktail thing sound nice too.

Today's popsicles:

applesauce -- straight from the jar into the molds

The applesauce popsicles are sweet and refreshing -- a good cold fruit
snack for the afternoon. My boys like these a lot.

And to think I just bought a large bundle of sugar free icy pops for
$2.50 in prep for the summer... sigh. Had I waited till the next grocery
trip, I would have got the molds. Probably the silly ones that dribble
out of the straw holder.

Today's popsicles:

a package of orange jello disolved in a cup of boiling water
a can of frozen orange juice
a quart of vanilla yogurt
enough water to make two quarts

We will definitely make these again. They are creamy and taste like
dreamsicles.

You lost me at the jello LOL. Can't stand the stuff, although Maman
likes it.

The latest batches of popsicles:

Orange kool-aid

Large box of strawberry Jello dissolved in boiling water, a quart of
vanilla yogurt, enough water to make two quarts. These are very
good. The Jello keeps the drips away.
