Strawberry and Cranberry Popsicles

Preparation

1. Make the syrup:

   Step 1

   Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to high and bring to boil for 1 minute. Set aside to cool completely.

2. Make the pops:

   Step 2

   Pour the sugar syrup and cranberry juice into a large jug and stir to combine. Pour half the cranberry mixture into 8 x 1/3 cup-capacity (80ml) ice-pop molds. Place 2 strawberry slices into each mold, insert ice-pop sticks and freeze for 4 hours. Pour remaining cranberry syrup into molds. Divide remaining strawberry slices between molds and freeze for a further 4 hours or until frozen.
