MACERATE STRAWBERRIES: Place 2 pounds fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and halved in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and toss to coat. Let the strawberries sit for about 30 minutes until they release their juices.
BLEND FRUIT: Transfer the strawberries and their juices to a blender or food processor. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and blend until the mixture is smooth and fully pureed.
FILL MOLDS: Pour the strawberry mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving about ¼ inch of space at the top of each mold.
INSERT STICKS: Cover the molds with their lids or aluminum foil and insert popsicle sticks.
FREEZE: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely frozen. For the firmest popsicles, freeze for up to 24 hours.
SERVE: To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for about 10 seconds and gently pull the popsicles out.

Make-Ahead: These popsicles can be made several days in advance and stored in the freezer until ready to serve.

Storage: Store popsicles in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2 weeks.

Freezing Tip: If the popsicles stick to the mold, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds to release them easily.

Ingredient Tip: Ripe, bright red strawberries will give these popsicles the sweetest flavor and best color.
