1/2cupmandarin orangesfrozen
1/2cuppineapple chunksfrozen
1/2cupsliced kiwipeeled and frozen
1cupblueberriesfrozen

Instructions
In a blender, blend frozen fruit with 2 teaspoons of honey. Repeat with each fruit, cleaning out the blender between to prevent colors mixing.
Using a spoon, add a layer of each fruit to the popsicle molds in the order of the colors of the rainbow: strawberries for red, mandarin oranges for orange, pineapple for yellow, kiwi for green, blueberries for blue, and grapes for purple.
Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until solid, about 6-8 hours.
Notes
You can use frozen, canned, or fresh fruit. However, I would recommend freezing your canned or fresh fruit before making the popsicles to help thicken the layers and prevent them from mixing.
If you find that any of the fruit layers are too thick and not blending well, add a small amount of water to the blender to thin them out a bit. Not too much--you want the layers to be thick.
Some colors may blend together a bit, which I don't find to be a big deal. If you want to make the color layers extra perfect you could freeze the popsicles for 1 hour between adding each layer.
Trouble getting your ice pops out of the mold? Run the mold under warm water for 20 seconds or so to help the popsicles unstick from the sides of the mold.
