You control the added sugar in these kiwi-lime popsicles.

Makes eight 2-ounce pops

ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hours

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

1 1/3 cups water
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon finely freshly grated lime zest
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/3 cup lime juice
1 drop green food coloring (optional)
2 kiwis, peeled and very thinly sliced

1. Pour water into a small saucepan, add sugar, lime zest and ginger. Stir over high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
2. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve set over a bowl. Stir in lime juice and food coloring, if using.
3. Line 8 individual frozen-treat molds or small (2-ounce) paper cups with slices of kiwi, pressing them onto the sides so they are close together but not overlapping. Fill each mold or cup with the lime mixture.
4. Freeze until beginning to set, about 1 hour. Insert frozen-treat sticks and freeze until completely firm. Dip the molds briefly in hot water before unmolding.

This was a great recipe for me, just found out 1 month ago I am a type 11 diabetic. It is so hard to find something for dessert and that I could eat with out bring up my blood glucose. I added splenda for sweetness. I would recommend anyone to try it.
