Ingredients
 
 

  • 30 oz plums in syrup
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Removed the stones from the plums and add them together with the syrup into a stand-up blender.
    30 oz plums
  • Add 2 tsp lemon juice and 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon to the plums. Blend everything for 1-2 minutes until smooth. You can also use a food processor, stick blender, or mash everything with the back of the fork or a potato masher if needed.
    2 tsp lemon juice, 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Fill ice block molds or a large freezer-proof bowl with the blended plums. Depending on your ice block molds, add wooden sticks an hour into freezing the mixture.
  • Freeze the ice pops for 8 hours or until they're fully set. Remove the carefully from the molds or serve the sorbet scooped in dessert ups or cones.

Notes

Storage: You can store ice blocks in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just make sure you store the ice blocks in a tightly sealed container or bag to minimize exposure to air and moisture.

Ingredients and substitutions

  1. Plums – If you can’t find canned plums in the store, you can substitute the syrup with 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar. Stew the plums in the sugar syrup for 15 minutes in a saucepan on medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the plums are softened. Adjust the sweetness as needed.
  2. Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon adds depth and warmth to the popsicles and complements. Cardamom, ginger, or a pinch of allspice make delicious additions too.
  3. Lemon – The lemon juice adds some freshness to the plums. You can add the zest of 1/2 lemon for a more zingy flavor. Limes would work too.

My top 3 plum popsicle tips

  • Remove stones: Make sure you remove all stones from the canned plums before adding them to the blender – speaking of experience here!
  • Single container: Freeze the blended plum mixture in a single freezer-proof container to enjoy as a granita, or sorbet.
  • Double batch: Meal prep these popsicles and prepare a larger batch to enjoy this sweet treat throughout the summer.
