3 c. strawberries
2/3 c. sugar
1 c. water
1 env. unsweetened strawberry or cherry flavored soft drink mix

Wash strawberries under cold water. Peel off stems and leaves and place in bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until almost smooth. Stir in water, sugar and soft drink until mixed. Pour mixture into 12 to 16 drink cups or pop molds until almost full. Use a muffin pan to hold cups steady. Cover each cup with tin foil and make a little hole with knife. Push a stick into the cup through hole. Freeze 4 to 6 hours or until firm. To serve, tear off paper or remove from molds.

Banana Fruit Pops: Follow the recipe above but use 4 large bananas instead of the strawberries. Peel the bananas and mash them in the bowl.
