Recipe Introduction

Blueberry popsicles are delightful summer treats. That’s why we’re glad today is National Blueberry Popsicle Day! Popsicles were invented in 1905 by eleven-year-old Frank Epperson. He accidentally left a stirring stick in a fruit-flavored drink on his porch one winter night. In the morning, it was frozen solid and the icy treat we know and love was first created. He first named this delight the "Epsicle.” This name was changed eighteen years later. By 1965, 34 different flavors of popsicles were being produced, including blueberry. To celebrate National Blueberry Popsicle Day, purchase a pack of blueberry popsicles or make your own. Punch Bowl
