Berry and Apple Ice Lollies
Great for kids and teething babies, these homemade ice lollies are the perfect treat on a hot summer's day. You can use either fresh or frozen berries for this recipe.
I like to use less sugar, as I don't mind it tasting a little bitter and most importantly the kids like it this way. Add a little sugar and taste, then add a little more if you think they might not like the bitter taste.
Cook time: 5-7 minutes
