Makes: 6 to 8 ice lollies depending on the size of your mould
Ingredients:
100g caster sugar (or use xylitol)
400ml water or berry juice
Two strips of lemon zest
A sprig of fresh mint
500g mixed berries, hulled
Method:
1. Place the sugar (reduce the sugar if using juice), water, zest, mint and berries in a pan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool. Remove the lemon zest and mint and discard.
2. Place the berries and liquid in a food processor or blender and blend till smooth. Divide between lolly moulds and freeze till solid.
3. Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before enjoying.
COOK'S TIPS:
Not berry season? You can replace the berries with almost any seasonal soft fruit, like plums, peaches, nectarines, pineapple or watermelon. If using juice, match the flavour to the fruit.
Give them a boozy kick: For a cocktail-like adult lolly, add 60ml-80ml of vodka, rum or white wine to the mixture before blending.
