Jamun or Black Plum popsicles are the best treat to enjoy in the hot summer. Popsicles, as you know, are easy to make and these black plum popsicles come with health benefits too. Let’s make this tarty-flavored popsicle.
Jamun/ Black Plum Popsicle
Black Plums or jamun or java plums, a native of India are loaded with health benefits. It has a sweet, tarty flavor which is not enjoyed by everyone. But I love it when dipped in red chili powder and salt mixture. The jamun leaves a purple color on your tongue when you consume it and it fantasizes us as a kid.
Recently I made black plum popsicles as an attempt to make my kids eat black plums in any format. Though my kids didn’t like the jamun as a fruit to consume, they were excited to have it as popsicles. And surprisingly they even loved the not-so-sweet version of my black plum popsicle.
