These Ginger Peach Popsicles were supposed to be for my first outdoor photo shoot.
Normally I take all my photos in the dining room. We have two big windows in there, so I get a decent amount of natural light. But for some reason after making these popsicles, I came to the conclusion that I needed to take pictures of them outside. And I was convinced they would be the best pictures I’ve ever taken. Ever!
So I made my husband go outside with me and hold my diffuser, then I ran back inside to get the popsicles out of the freezer. By the time I had styled them, they had already started to melt in the 90 degree heat. Then the wind started blowing. The burlap I had laid out on the lawn kept blowing onto the popsicles just as I was about to snap my pictures. And so between every gust of wind, I’d have to pick little bits of dirt and fibers off of the popsicles, which were now quickly turning into a sticky puddle.
Sigh.
I ended up packing everything up and relocating to the dining room. The dining room, where I can control the temperature and there’s no sudden gusts of wind and dirt and grass. But even if my outdoor photo shoot wasn’t perfect, at least the Ginger Peach Popsicles were. In fact, I don’t think anything can be more perfect than a cold, fruity popsicle on a 90 degree day. Especially a homemade popsicle. They may take a little more time and effort, but they are so, so worth it.

Ooooh! I have to try this!
Yum – these sound so good! Now you just need another 6 ingredient or less giveaway to enter these in! Did you buy the Zoku accessories kit?
Yes, I broke down and bought the accessories. Not the kit for making faces, but just the basic accessories. I had another gift card to Williams-Sonoma. 🙂
I need that! At least the funnel because my first go was a mess!
Stop with the yummy recipes, please! It’s killing me…especially since I don’t have a fancy Zoku. 🙁
You had me at ginger!!!
What a week! I need one of those now to refresh my mind. Isn’t peaches and ginger good for the mind and body? LOL These REALLY look good.
So, I would like to hire you as my personal popsicle maker–yum!
This is a perfect flavor for the fall season!
This is a nice one to find just as peaches are coming into season again. Outdoor photography is over-rated sometimes, yes?
It is most certainly over-rated, especially on hot, windy days!
YUM – the are currently chilling in my freezer and the “mix” I poured into my pop-molds tasted delicious & I can’t wait to bite into one in the heat later (AND photograph/blog them as well).
Thanks for this obviously simple yet delicious summer treat!
Yay, thanks for letting me know! I’m guilty of drinking some of the leftover mix too. 😉 Hopefully they tasted just as good frozen!
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who taste-tested before the pops went into the freezer! I had to make sure the mix was safe to consume. 🙂
You always have to taste things first, right?! Always!
YUM! Hey…can you make milk-based (or alternative milk-based in my case) pops in the Zoku!
Yes! I’ve used soy, almond, and coconut milk in the Zoku. 🙂
