Ingredients

Makes: 4 to 6 servings (about 1 qt)

  • 1 pint strawberries, preferably organic
  • 2 medium peaches, preferably organic
  • 2 to 4 tbsp pure honey (amount will depend on ripeness of fruit)
  • ¾ cup peach nectar

Directions

  1. Halve strawberries; place in food processor or blender. 
  2. Pit and slice peaches; add to food processor.   Note: Leave skin on to maintain nutrients.
  3. Add 2 tbsp honey; process for 2 minutes until very smooth or near liquid consistency. If needed, add additional honey to taste.
  4. Pour into 2 ice cube trays and freeze at least 3 to 5 hours.
  5. Place frozen fruit cubes into food processor with peach nectar. Pulse 1 to 3 times in food processor or blend for just a few seconds. Purée just enough to create creamy, yet solid consistency.
  6. Scoop into serving dish and garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or mint leaf.

Adults-only: Add a twist! Blend in a cup of cold white wine.
