Apricot Breakfast Popsicles Recipe

Popsicles for breakfast? When you're using ripe fruit and yogurt, why not? The classic flavor combination of apricots, cardamom, and yogurt are sweetened naturally with honey and make for a lovely way to start your day.
Note: My popsicle molds are very small, so I got about 7 pops out of this recipe. If you have bigger molds, you will get 4 or 5. If you don't own any reusable popsicle molds, pour the mixture into small paper cups and freeze for an hour or two until firm but not completely frozen, then insert a wooden popsicle stick into the center of each and finish freezing.
