Capri Sun Fruit Punch Pops
Takes 4 hours
You will need:
1 cup seedless green grapes, cut in half lengthwise

2 6-ounce Capri sun pouches or 1 ½ cups fruit punch
You will also need a cutting board, chef's knife, dry and wet measuring cups, mixing bowl, spoon, and popsicle molds
Combine the fruit in a large mixing bowl. Spoon the mixture into 8 popsicle molds. Fill each mold with enough punch to reach the fill line. Add the popsicle stick and place in the freezer.
Freeze for at least 4 hours up to overnight, or until popsicles are frozen solid. Allow the molds to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes or place under warm running water for 10 to 20 seconds to remove popsicles. Serve immediately. You can add in any juicy fruits you like such as pineapples, kiwi, orange segments, stoned cherries, or chopped peaches.
