Kiwi-Cantaloupe Popsicles

When I was a kid there was nothing quite like coming inside on a hot summer day and my mom offering me an ice cold popsicle. Orange and grape were my favorites. Of course as an adult, I try to be healthier so last summer I bought a book of popsicle recipes and a couple of popsicle molds. After trying a few, I decided that it was actually easier to just make up my own combos and this was by far my favorite. Its sweet and tart, super refreshing and I don't even feel guilty sharing with my dog, who has the last word on everything yummy in my house!

Just Black Grapes Sorbet

The name pretty much says it all. I adore sweet black grapes, which are in season in the late summer. I tried to come up with something fabulous to swirl into this sorbet, but after I tasted it, I realized it needed nothing. Just black grapes - hence the name! I leave the skins on the grapes. Because, resveratrol. And texture.

Pineapple Persimmon Sorbet

When we moved into this house I had never eaten a persimmon before in my life. But the persimmon tree in the backyard was so prolific I was harvesting about 50 of them a week! We just couldn't eat them fast enough. It was like Lucy and Ethel in the chocolate factory. Sure enough, a bag of persimmons I had on the windowsill got so overripe that they were oozing out of their skins. Necessity became the mother of invention and this healthy and delicious sorbet was born.
