It's Homemade Popsicle Time!!

I am uncertain where the recipe for these homemade popsicles originated; I just know that when my Mom made them, they tasted better than any frozen treats that I had ever tasted! Of course, I have made them for my family and friends, and now my grand-kids think they are awesome! Try this delicious and easy frozen treat with your family!

Approximate Yield:

Nancy's Notes:  

• If you have extra "Popsicle Syrup", store remaining amount in a tight-fitting container in the refrigerator. If it gets too thick, set the container out at room temperature - or in a container of warm water and stir until mixture is the desired pouring consistency. 

• For molds, you may also use ice cube trays or small cups.  Add a wooden craft stick when mixture is partially frozen.
