Recipe for above cranberry orange pops below – sourced from Zoku blog

Makes 6 Pops

INGREDIENTS

9 ounces orange juice; divided use

For the cranberry sauce:
6 ounces fresh cranberries (about 1 1/3 cup)
4 ounces orange juice (½ cup)
½ cup granulated sugar
zest of one orange

MAKE THE CRANBERRY-ORANGE BASE

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in ½ cup orange juice. Stir in the fresh cranberries and cook until the cranberries begin to pop (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours.
  2. Remove Cranberry-Orange Sauce from the refrigerator and place into a blender. Add in 6 ounces of orange juice and blend until smooth (mixture will be slightly thick).

ASSEMBLE THE POPS

  1. Remove Zoku Quick Pop Maker from the freezer. Insert sticks and pour about ¾ ounce of cranberry-orange base into each cavity; allow layer to freeze completely.
  2. Pour ½ ounce orange juice into each cavity directly on top of the cranberry-orange layer; allow layer to freeze completely.
  3. Pour another layer of the cranberry-orange base up  fill line in each cavity (approximately ¾ ounce per pop); allow layer to freeze completely.
  4. Remove the pops with the Super Tool. Repeat with remaining pops.

{sneak peak} Going Gaga Over – Bugaboo Donkey

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Due to hit the market in 2011 the latest bugaboo – The Bugaboo Donkey is the first stroller on the market to be fully convertible to offer parents three possible configurations: mono, duo and twin. It offers the possibility of transforming a mono stroller to a duo configuration with the same comfort for all children. It is also the first stroller to be designed specifically to meet parents’ needs for flexible and multiple storage space, courtesy of an expandable side shopping basket and underseat basket.

All Bugaboo strollers are named after animals like the Bugaboo Bee and Bugaboo Cameleon. The characteristics of a donkey perfectly reflect Bugaboo’s new stroller as it’s well known for its ability to carry both luggage and people with ease. They are also known for being faithful, intelligent and eager to learn.
The Bugaboo Donkey will be available in spring 2011 in the Netherlands, the UK, USA and Spain. As yet there in no word as to when the Bugaboo Donkey will be available in Australia, but we will keep you posted.

The Bugaboo Donkey is the first stroller on the market to be fully convertible to offer parents three possible configurations: mono, duo and twin. In mono configuration the Bugaboo Donkey is 60 cm wide, which is the same width as the Bugaboo Cameleon. In duo configuration the Bugaboo Donkey is only 74 cm, which is the narrowest side by side duo stroller.
