Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the lemonade: Bring sugar and 1 cup of water to a low boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  2. Mix lemonade: Remove from heat, mix with lemon juice in a large pitcher, and dilute with cold water to taste.
  3. Roast strawberries: Preheat oven to 350°F, line a baking sheet with parchment, toss strawberries with sugar, and roast for 25-30 minutes.
Assembly
  1. Fill each popsicle mold 1/3 with lemonade, add layers of fruit, fill another 1/3 with lemonade, add more fruit, and finish with lemonade.
  2. Freeze the popsicles for 4-8 hours.
  3. To remove from molds, run them under warm water for about 10 seconds.

Notes

Customize each popsicle with your favorite fruits. Use ripe fruits for best flavor; overripe fruits can make the popsicles too mushy. Always let the popsicles sit at room temperature for a few minutes before trying to remove them from the molds.
