I like to save the juice from canned fruit in a Pyrex measuring cup in the fridge. (Its spout makes it quick and easy to fill the popsicle molds.) While I occasionally end up getting our canned fruit in syrup, depending on prices and availability, I mostly aim to get our canned fruits packed in 100% fruit juice. This past week I opened a can of pear slices in real pear juice and a can of pineapple rings in pineapple juice to have along with a stir-fry supper. I poured both juices into the Pyrex cup, then later poured that juice - with nothing else added - into my popsicle molds. Over the week we eat the frozen treats and refill the molds with the rest of the juice. So stop paying for high-fructose corn syrup soaked fruits, and don't pay for Splenda treated either. Buy your fruits canned in 100% fruit juice, don't dump it down the drain, keep it for fantastic frozen treats! I can't believe it took me as long as it did to start doing this...
