Hello Everyone!
Hope you are all doing fine in this lockdown situation due to COVID-19. As temperatures get higher in Karachi, I tried something cool……Back in October last year I bought Popsicle molds from a superstore during grocery shopping, I think now it’s the best time to use them. So I am making Strawberry popsicles as I got lots of them in the fridge, you can use watermelon or pineapple.
Here is the recipe
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pints fresh strawberries (about 1 1/2 pounds), hulled and sliced
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar (or more/less depending on sweetness of strawberries)
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- finely grated zest from half a lemon
INSTRUCTIONS
-
In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and sugar. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow strawberries to expel juice.
-
In a food processor (or blender), combine strawberry-sugar mixture, lemon juice and lemon zest. Process until smooth.
-
Pour strawberry puree into molds with wooden sticks and place in freezer.
-
Freeze for at least 3 hours until popsicle is solid. To remove popsicles from mold, submerge mold into room temperature or slightly warm water for a couple of minutes. Remove from water and pull popsicles out.
* If adding carrot-orange juice, add after filling mold halfway with strawberry puree. Then freeze as normal.
