Too hot for tea? These delicious pops are a refreshing way to get your antioxidants.  

The beneficial bacteria in kefir survive when frozen, making these delicious creamy pops a treat for your tummy. Also try this with flavored kefir. If you don’t have fresh cherries, substitute frozen.

A grown-up popsicle (for kids, you might leave out the basil). The sweeter your fruit, the less sweetener you will need, so be sure to taste your mixture before adding any. You can also use nectarines in these yummy pops.

Nobody will believe that these luscious treats are dairy-free, gluten-free, and sweetened only with dates.

Fresh dill for a sweet-sharp, pleasantly grassy taste.

A rich summer treat with stone fruits

By itself, this compote makes a refreshing summer dessert (or breakfast fruit, for that matter), but you can also use these plums in a kuchen or a free-form tart with a yeasted crust. Pour off the juice, reduce it until it’s really syrupy, and then spoon it over the cooked fruit. Cardamom is another wonderful spice to add, and so are orange and clove. A Thai basil leaf wouldn’t be out of place, either.
