Notes

You will need lollipop molds, and lollipop sticks. If you don't have them, improvise. paper cups are a good substitute for lollipop molds. Extra thick straws or plastic spoons can double as sticks - although the wooden ones are best, especially if the lollipops are intended for young children. Pureeing fruit is quick and easy with a food processor or blender, besides honey can be added and mixed in from the start. As all the fruit required to prepare these traffic lights is of the soft type, a coarse sieve and a whisk are a possibility.

To do stripped ice lollies, just set the layers in a different order.
