Apple and ginger popsicle

Ooh! They taste gingery and tangy. hehe :D  I made this before we left for a picnic to an Island nearby last weekend. It was very hot and I got some pretty bad sun burns too. It had been a long time since I visited a beach and this one was heavenly.

The weather is fluctuating in Norway and they say this is the first time in history that the temperature has reached almost 35 Degrees. Naveen was so happy to have something so fresh after that hot day. 

I have used Brown sugar and Green apples. You can use white sugar and Red apples and it does not make any difference in the taste.

Green mango Melara

This is a dish from my native and is used as a pickle. The mangoes should be sour which can compliment the sweetness in jaggery and spice in green chillies.

You can store it in an air tight container for years. I never got a chance to store it for that long since it never lasted more than 2 days. :D
