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 
Ginger Peach Popsicles
- 2 oz. fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced into thick coins
- ½ c. water
- ⅓ c. sugar
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into chunks
- Combine ginger, water, and sugar in small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to low. Allow syrup to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool.
- Strain syrup through sieve into blender; discard ginger (or use it elsewhere). Add peaches to blender and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until solid

And I leave you with this, Today’s Question of the Day… Do you have certain foods or flavors that you associate with specific people in your life?
my dad’s Puppy Penny wanted Peach Pops too!
Yummy ! Yummy ! What a “cool” treat !!These look luscious !! Any left- overs ?? Did the puppy get to “taste anything ?? LLK
I don’t think the puppy got anything – and there may still be one in the freezer…
I don’t think you are lying. Indeed, this is summer in a stick, or a plastic stick for that matter…I love peaches. can’t wait to try how ginger will have an effect on the flavor. I am sure it will be really soothing..and refreshing. Great idea to combine peach and ginger

Your phenomenal photos have caught our attention.

I definitely associate cornmeal with my mother, especially in cookies and cakes! I’m having serious separation anxiety from my immersion blender, but I’ll be returning home (to it! my darling!) at the tail end of summer so I’ll certainly be squeezing these in. Especially for my best friend – ginger makes me think of her!

I don’t keep fresh ginger on hand, any idea how much powdered ginger you’d use for this?
Thanks,
Sophie
Sophie – Fresh Ginger is so easy to get & totally affordable, so I would suggest going that route! If you really can’t get fresh (and the flavor of powdered will be much different than the fresh) – my guess would be about 1/2 teaspoon? GOOD LUCK – let me know what you think
Thanks! My usual grocery store doesn’t typically carry ginger. I’ll try and get it elsewhere, but it’s good to know about the powder in case I get everything else on hand and the perfect moment to make it
