Homemade ice pops are easy to do and great fun for the kids to help out with. You can vary the flavour so easily by changing the fruit or yoghurt that you use.

Strawberries in Pimm's
What says summer more than fresh, juicy, local strawberries doused in Pimm's? Serve this with ice cream, on top of meringues with cream, or use in your favourite trifle or Eton mess recipe.
