Peachy Blueberry Popsicles

  The countdown here in Houston is on. Tomorrow our communities pool open up, schools dismiss for summer, the temperature skyrockets and summer arrives.  Many things are necessary in summer such as water bombs, water blobs and popsicles.  Since summer fruits are filling the grocery store I decided to try a recipe for popsicles using peaches and blueberries.   First for a deep dark secret – Once upon a time I wrote out a list of names for my children. Of course at this time I hadn’t graduated high school, much less met my future husband. However the list was heavy on girl’s names and with only 2 or 3 boys names. It was fate. You can laugh but one of those names was Blu, like blueberry.  I was a hipster before hipster existed. God wanted to protect my children though so He gave me a man to marry with the last name of Byrd (pronounced bird). Blu Byrd would never exist. Not only did we have three girls but Mr. Byrd would have died laughing if I ever would have suggested it.  It doesn’t matter though because rarely do I call my family by their names. I am obsessed with nicknames that all seem to be proper nouns.  One of our kids is monkey, my husband’s nickname is a derivative of Santa Clause and our dog… well I call him peach. No his name isn’t peach, it’s Snoopy.  But he’s a peach so I call him peach. Therefore these popsicles are in honor of my pup, the peach, and the son I never had that thankfully was spared being laughed at by his classmates. Silly stories aside, I was just pleasantly surprised with how refreshing these popsicles were. The taste is clean and cool, not over powered like some fruits. They really are the perfect treat for those summer days that are so hot that all you want to do is lay naked in a tub of ice water.   That might scare the kids though so how about we just get out the blender and make popsicles instead?  These fruits are plentiful right now so it’s time to make popsicles.   Other popsicle recipes you might enjoy – Mango Strawberry Popsicles The Easiest Popsicles You’ll Ever Make Summer Breeze Popsicles Or you can check out my Popsicle Pinterest board.
