With strawberry season quick approaching, there is no better way to use these red gems than in Fresh Strawberry-Lime Quick Pops. Bursting with the bright and sweet flavors of spring, these Pops will make winter a distant memory. 

Makes 6 Pops

INGREDIENTS
10 ounces fresh strawberries; stems removed, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons sugar (*more if necessary)
1 teaspoon lime zest
½ cup water
3 ounces limeade; divided use 

ASSEMBLE THE POPS

1. In a blender, puree strawberries, sugar, lime zest, and water, until smooth, set aside.
2. Remove Zoku Quick Pop Maker from the freezer. Insert sticks.
3. Pour 1 ounce strawberry puree into each Zoku Quick Pop cavity. Allow this layer to freeze completely.
4. Next pour ½ ounce limeade into each cavity. Allow this layer to freeze completely.
5. Finally pour another layer of the strawberry puree up to the fill line in each cavity. Allow this layer to freeze completely.
6. Remove the pops with the Super Tool. Repeat with remaining pops. 

* Adjust the amount of sugar based upon the sweetness of your berries. Strawberries from local farms tend to have a much sweeter and true berry flavor than those found in the supermarkets. We recommend using organic ingredients whenever possible.
