Peach & Plum Popsicles

 Makes 6 popsicles

Peach & Plum Popsicles 
 
1 # ripe peaches or 1 # ripe plums
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 Tbl corn syrup
1 Tbl lemon juice
 
Wash the fruit under cool running water, then pat dry with paper towels.  Slice the fruit into large chunks, discarding the pits and stems.  Place the sliced fruit in the bowl of a food processor.  Puree until liquefied, about 1 minutes, scraping down the sides of the container with a rubber spatula as needed. 
 
In a small saucepot, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup.  Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. 
 
Add the sugar mixture and the lemon juice to the pureed fruit in the food processor bowl.  Process until combined.  Strain through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the solids. 
 
Pour the strained juice into six popsicle molds.  Freeze until solid, about four hours.  To facilitate removal of the popsicles from the molds, place the mold into a bowl of hot water for about 10 seconds or so, then slide the popsicles from the mold.
