Ingredients
  

  • 4 c strawberries hulled and quartered
  • ¾ c sugar
  • ½ c water
  • 1 lime juice of
  • 2 T mint leaves torn

Method
 

  1. Mix the strawberries and sugar in a bowl and allow to sit 20 to 30 minutes until the strawberries begin to release their juice.
  2. Transfer to a sauce pan, add water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes until strawberries are soft.
  3. Cool strawberry mixture to room temperature.
  4. Pour into a blender and add lime and mint. Blend until smooth.
  5. Pour into popsicle molds. If the mold has a lid, put it on and add the sticks. If not, freeze for an hour and a half or so until just beginning to set before adding the sticks. Freeze until firm – about 5 hours.
  6. To unmold, fill a sink with hot water almost to the depth of the popsicle mold. Set the popsicle mold in the water until the popsicles release when the stick is pulled gently.
  7. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic and freeze.
