Directions:
Put the peaches in a large saucepan and cover them with boiling water. Cook for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Peel the peaches; halve them and remove the pits. Transfer the peaches to a food processor and coarsely puree. Pour into medium bowl.
In a medium nonreactive saucepan bring the sugar and 1/2 cup of water to a boil over moderately high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the lemon zest and let simmer about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set the syrup aside for about 10 minutes.
Strain the syrup into the peach puree and blend well. Add the Champagne or orange juice, the lemon juice and the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Stir well.
Refrigerate until chilled. Pour into molds*. Freeze until slushy, about 30 minutes. Insert sticks and freeze overnight.
*Paper or plastic cups can be used in place of molds. Fill the cup with ice pop mixture. Cover the opening with aluminum foil. Make a slit in the foil and insert the stick.
