Out with Strawberries in with Mangos!

We've learned a lot in the past 10 months of running this little business.  People like color -- especially red and ESPECIALLY strawberry.  While our pops do stay "fresh" for a while in the freezer, we strive to use in season fruit.  So, sadly soon, strawberries will no longer be in that category -- even though they are the chosen favorite of kids and adults alike.

Out with these -- this might be the last batch...

And in with these... a personal favorite of ours!

Yummy yummy mangos!

Cayenne Pineapples

We found these GIANT sized Cayenne Pineapples at the shops yesterday.  We like their name -- goes with the Cayenne Pepper that we put in with the pineapple to make our pops.  Apparently, the queen pineapple (much smaller) is used for fresh eating and the cayenne pineapple is used more for canning and juicing.  We'll let these ones ripen up a bit and then start Hluhluwe Pop production. 

A Very Rainy Wonder Market

We tried to be very festive and upbeat at the Wonder Market today for about an hour.  Then, the relentless rain kicked in and we headed home.  It's no fun to sell pops in the rain! 

Our four flavours that were on offer

We tried to be festive with Halloween decorations!

Halloween Pop

We love Halloween and we love an excuse to come up with a new flavour of pop.  So here's to introducing our special Halloween Pop -- a layered concoction made to resemble the American sweet, candy corn.  It has pineapple, orange and coconut milk in it and is delicious!

Here's what the new pop looks like.

We will be giving away lots of little treats at the Wonder Market in honor of Halloween!

Our test group testing out the new flavour!

Lucky kids!

I heart market

We were captured on film by Caelin Roodt serving up a delicious pop to a young customer.  How's this for a beautiful picture?

Sunny Pop!

We ran across some yummy peaches from Mpumalanga the other day so we took to the kitchen and made Sunny - a scrumptious blend of peaches and lavender. It's fast becoming a favourite among our taste testers and is like swallowing sunshine. 

These small peaches pack a powerful punch of flavour!

Biking and Skateboarding

We've got some talented tasters in the family who can eat Qhuma Pops and ride bikes and skateboard.  Ever tried it?
