RASPBERRIES & BASIL POPSICLES


Homemade ice cream can be a pain in the neck, what with the bowl
freezing and custard-cooking, but
Popsicles? You have NO excuse not to make Popsicles.
Just buy a mold pour in various liquids or fruits that taste good
and wait for the magic to happen:


Picked some basil from my yard.


Got my fresh raspberries and molds out.


Puree four cups of raspberries in my food processor.



Combined my simple syrup with basil leaves in a small saucepan.
Simple syrup is just equal parts of sugar and water.
2/3 cup sugar and 2/3 cup water


Strain out basil and discard. Combine the basil-scented simple syrup
with the pureed raspberries in a bowl.


Pour the mixture into your pop molds, leaving 
a little bit of room at the top for the mixture to expand.


All filled :)


Insert the lids and freeze until solid about 4 to 5 hours.


Think I am ready for a Popsicle!


What can be better than a cold Popsicle after
a workout. So good!


Look who wants a taste, Miss Bella.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/3 cups of simple syrup
3 sprigs fresh basil
4 cups raspberries


Here is your Popsicle. I don't want to eat alone :)

Enjoy!

P.S.


My recipe came from this book a girlfriend gave me.
Go get your book and make Popsicles this Spring!
Let me know if you add any booze to yours!
