We’re in the middle of summer and it’s been quite hot! Believe me, I’m not complaining. I love the warm weather especially when I have a delicious homemade popsicle to cool me off. Ginger Cantaloupe Popsicles are easy to make, in fact the kids can actually make them on their own. It will give them a fun project to do in the kitchen and then a treat to enjoy outside. We love making our own popsicles because we know exactly what’s going in them. You’ll only need a few ingredients before you’re enjoying these refreshing Ginger Cantaloupe Popsicles!
