Traffic Light Ices
Prep time: 20 minutes plus freezing time Its easy to make fresh fruit lollies and you can use just one type of fruit if you prefer.

 Ingredients
250g strawberries
4 ½ tbsp honey
3 large ripe juicy peaches, peeled,
stoned and sliced or used tinned apricots in juice
5 large ripe kiwi fruit,
peeled and sliced

 Method
In a blender, puree the strawberries and then sieve the puree to get rid of the seeds. Stir one and a half tbsp of the honey into the strawberry puree.

Then pour the strawberry puree into each of the ice lolly moulds (or use empty yoghurt pots) until each mould is one third full and freeze until firm
(about 1 ½ hours).

Repeat the process with the peaches and 1 ½ tbsp of the honey (no need to sieve the peaches) and freeze until firm, then add the kiwi fruit mixed with the rest of the honey and insert the sticks
