Nectarine and Raspberry Popsicles

Beat the summer heat with these delightful Nectarine and Raspberry Popsicles. An irresistible blend of juicy nectarines and tart raspberries, sweetened with a touch of honey and a splash of refreshing lemon. These homemade popsicles are not only a healthier alternative to store-bought ones but are a true taste of summer in every lick. The recipe dates back to the early 1900s when the first popsicles, then called 'Epsicles', were invented by an 11-year-old boy in the United States.
