Limber de parcha are ice pops bursting with the vibrant flavor of tropical passion fruit. In Puerto Rico, limber is traditionally made in small plastic cups. Once frozen, you flip the ice pop upside down and place it back in the cup to make it easier to eat. I like adding a popsicle stick to make them easier to hold while eating. You could also use a popsicle mold to make popsicles or paletas.

What is limber?

What is a limber, anyway? Limber got its name from pilot Charles A. Lindbergh, who landed on the island in 1928. According to locals, Lindbergh was greeted with a frozen juice that later was referred to as limbers. Limber is how many in Puerto Rico pronounce the pilot’s name.

How to make passion fruit ice pops?

Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend only a couple of seconds on the lowest setting because you don’t want to pulverize the seeds. Otherwise, the juice will have tiny black specs. Taste the juice and adjust the amount of sugar, if necessary. Strain the juice and pour into plastic cups. I like using these 5 ounce cups with lids. It’s important to cover the limber to keep its flavor fresh. It’s important to cover the limber to keep its flavor fresh.
