Lollipops or sugar candies, are the most favorite treat for every kid. But they have a ton of sugar and artificial synthetic colors in them.
Here is a healthier option, a natural fruit lollipop. It only takes 15-20 Minutes, but it is worth it.
Jaggery is also known as super food sweetener. Nowadays, jaggery has become popular as a “Healthy “ Alternate for refined sugar.
In my opinion, it’s way better than refined sugar.
Let me know your thoughts on it.
This is super easy and healthy yet yummy lollipop recipe. It needs basic ingredients you already have at home and can be made without any molds. You don’t even need candy thermometer.
