2 pounds fresh strawberries
¼ cup sugar
1 cup water
Rinse, drain, and hull the strawberries. Dice ¼ of the strawberries and add to molds or small cups. Place remaining strawberries, sugar, and water in a blender. Blend well.
Pour mixture into molds or cups. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until solid.
To remove popsicles, hold the outside of your mold or cup under hot running water for 5 seconds.
