Ingredients




1 can pear halves or slices (15 ¼ ounces)
8 ounces plain yogurt
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
drops green food coloring, (optional)
drops almond extract, (optional)

Preparation

1 Put five (5-ounce) paper cups in an 8 x 8 x 2 inch baking pan; set aside. 2 Open the can of pears with a can opener. Place a colander in the sink. 3 Empty the pears into the colander and let the liquid drain away. 4 Put the pears, yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and, if you like, food coloring and almond extract in a blender container or a food processor bowl. 5 Cover with the lid and blend or process on high speed until smooth. Turn off the blender. 6 Pour the mixture into the paper cups using a rubber scraper to remove all of the mixture from the blender container or food processor. Cover each cup with a square of foil. Use a table knife to make a small hole in center of each foil square. Slide a wooden craft stick through each hole and into the fruit mixture in the cup. 7 Put the pan in the freezer. Freeze for 4 to 6 hours or until the pops are firm. 8 To serve, remove the foil and tear the paper cups off the pops.

Use a popsicle or ice pop maker instead of paper cups and tin foil if you have one.
