Ginger Peach Popsicles

Nothing says SUMMER more than Popsicles

Ok – I lie. To you there may be something that says “summer” more than a few delicious minutes of heavenly goodness on a stick. BUT, you do have to agree that these Ginger Peach Ice Pops just shout “summer” from the hilltops!

My CSA is in full swing & my Grandmother is visiting from Florida. One of the flavors I associate with my Dad’s Mom is ginger. I don’t know if she was always a lover of ginger, but in recent years she seems to always love ginger (candied ginger, ginger snaps, etc). So when I had a bowl of peaches & wanted to make a easy dessert snack for my parents & Grandma, Oh My Veggie’s beautiful popsicles were just perfect!

Rich thought these were a little too gingery (he associates ginger with sushi and not much else) but I thought they were just perfect – a bit of a ginger bite to them but so sweet and fresh from all that peach – YUM 🙂
