The good humor people say Americans eat 2,200 Popsicles every
minute. Take into account other brands and the homemade
counterparts and the number gets stratospheric.
Real Simple's good-for-you take on this classic uses organic fruit juice and
molds called Freezer Pop Makers ($13,
www.cooking.com). For the
two-tone pop shown here, fill each mold halfway up with papaya
juice and freeze until firm (about an hour). Fill the rest of the
mold with cranberry juice, insert a wooden craft stick, and freeze
until very hard. For a close runner-up to homemade, try Frozfruit
bars (available at supermarkets and delis).
