If you’ve got mulberries, don’t let them go to waste. These mulberry honey popsicles are ridiculously easy, naturally sweet, and taste like a frozen jammy lemonade. They’re made with just mulberries, lemon juice, and honey—blended together and poured into molds. That’s it! The hardest part is waiting for them to freeze.

I started making these when my neighbor dropped off a huge basket of fresh mulberries. I didn’t want to bake, and it was hot out—so popsicles it was. And wow, these turned out so good I now keep a batch in the freezer at all times.

🔬 Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)

Mulberries have a ton of natural juice and fiber, which blend down into a thick, vibrant purée. The lemon juice brightens up the berry flavor and helps preserve the color, while honey adds just the right balance of sweetness without overpowering. Blending everything smooth means the pops freeze evenly and aren’t icy or gritty.

❌ Common Mistakes

  • Not blending long enough: You want a smooth purée, especially if your mulberries have seeds.
  • Skipping the lemon juice: It’s key for flavor and keeping the color vibrant.
  • Adding too much honey: It can overpower the berries—2 tablespoons is just right.
  • Not filling molds evenly: Uneven pops can break or freeze lopsided.

🍴 What to Serve With

  • Iced tea or lemonade
  • A light fruit salad
  • Vanilla yogurt for dipping
  • Crushed and swirled into a smoothie bowl
  • Served with a small cookie or biscotti for a snack plate

❓ FAQ

Can I use frozen mulberries?
