Best Peach Guava Pops Recipes

PEACH-GUAVA POPS

Steps:

• Purée chopped peaches with 2 tablespoons lime juice. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with sugar, salt, and lime zest. Stir in peach purée; toss to combine. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and peaches are glossy, about 20 minutes.
• Strain mixture through a coarse-mesh sieve, pressing lightly to extract as much juice as possible, and reserving peaches. Stir together strained peach juice (you should have about 3/4 cup), guava juice, and remaining 1/4 cup lime juice.
• Divide reserved peaches evenly among ice-pop molds; top with juice mixture. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours and up to 5 days.

PEACH PEPPADEW PORK POPS

Steps:

• Add about three-quarters of the peach pop to a small saucepot along with the peach preserves, vinegar, soy, ginger and garlic. Simmer until everything dissolves and it thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. (If the sauce gets too thick, thin it out with a little more peach pop.) Add the chopped peppers and let cool. Reserve half the sauce for glazing and dunking. Add the ribs to a large resealable bag. Add the other half of the peach sauce and marinate the ribs, refrigerated, at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Heat a smoker or grill with a smoker box with a 2-stage fire (one side hot, one side low) to 275 degrees F.
• Place the ribs directly on the cooler side of the grill and add wood chips to the smoker or smoker box. Cook for 1 hour. Baste the ribs with the peach sauce. Continue to cook, basting once an hour, until very tender, another 2 hours. If you prefer your ribs extra crispy, increase the heat to medium-high and baste with more peach sauce, then continue to grill until the ribs are caramelized and charred, 4 to 5 minutes.

PEACH CRISP PARFAIT POPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine yogurt, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; fold in granola. Divide half of yogurt mixture among molds or paper cups. Top with with half of peaches; repeat layers. Top molds with holders. If using cups, top with foil and insert sticks through foil. Freeze until firm.

WATERMELON POPS

Steps:

• Working in batches, place watermelon and sugar (if using) in a blender. Puree until completely liquefied, stirring watermelon as necessary so all cubes are blended and mixture is smooth. Pour into twelve 3-ounce ice-pop molds or plastic cups. Insert sticks or wooden spoons into puree, and freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.

PASSION FRUIT AND GUAVA POPS

Steps:

• Combine 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in small bowl; stir until sugar dissolves. Using spoon, scoop flesh from passion fruits into sugar mixture. Strain mixture through fine-mesh strainer into small bowl; press on seeds with rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible (you will need 1 cup strained liquid); discard seeds in strainer.
• Divide passion fruit mixture among eight 3-ounce paper cups (about 2 tablespoons for each). Stretch plastic wrap tightly over top of each cup, covering completely and securing each with rubber band. Insert ice pop stick or lollipop stick through plastic wrap and into mixture in each cup (taut plastic will hold stick in place). Place cups in muffin pan, tilting cups at angle. Freeze until passion fruit mixture is set, about 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, stir guava nectar, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in 2-cup measuring cup until sugar dissolves. Chill mixture until cold.
• Remove cups with frozen passion fruit mixture from freezer; stand cups upright in muffin pan. Peel back some of plastic wrap on each. Pour guava mixture atop frozen passion fruit mixture in cups, dividing equally. Cover with plastic wrap, secure with rubber band, and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.
• Using scissors, cut off paper cups from pops and serve immediately.
