Simple Popsicles

These are yummy and quick to put together. Paige had a lot of fun making these yesterday. The hard part is waiting for them to freeze, but today the kids got to pick their flavor and get their picture taken. We made grape, orange, and cherry. You can use any combination of gelatin and Kool-aid that strikes your fancy. Of course, my kids all chose grape for the picture. I used my popsicle molds, little dixie cups, and an ice cube tray to make all three flavors of popsicles.

1 cup sugar
1 package (3 oz) cherry gelatin
1 package (.13 oz) unsweetened cherry soft drink mix (Kool-aid)
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water
10 disposable plastic cups (5 oz)
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
10 popsicle sticks

In a bowl, combine sugar, gelatin and soft drink mix in boiling water until dissolved. Add cold water. Pour into cups. Cover each with foil; insert sticks through foil (foil will kind of hold sticks upright). Place in a 13x9" pan; freeze. To serve, remove foil and plastic cups. Yield: 10 servings.
