Jul 10, 2013 I have been to the farmers market every week – that I remember. This activity facilitated eating my weight in berries in the past two weeks. Local berries make me a bit crazy. I get into a full-tilt panic about how short the season is, scouring blogs, magazines and cookbooks for new, interesting recipes – making a plan for all the pies-crumbles-buckles-crisps-sorbets etc. to try, until I’m so overwhelmed by my giant to-make list that I throw in the towel and just cram as many as possible down my throat. Last week, however, I bought five pints of sun-warmed berries, bursting with juiciness at their absolute gorgeous peak – more than I could reasonably gulp down in the 2 days it takes them to go past their prime. So I put my new popsicle moulds to work! (Oh yea… the other thing I have been doing these days is sleep-shopping, during late-night feeds… there’s trouble with a capital T for you). This is one sleep-shop that I don’t regret (don’t ask me how I feel about the $300 I sleep-shopped at Anthropologie.com the previous night… oops!). I LOVE MY POP MOULDS. I have a gazillian ideas for them. This could totally become a popsicle blog. These popsicles are a swirl of tart, tangy-sweet yogurt and fresh raspberry puree, with a squeeze of lime. They take about 5 minutes to make, and they are SO YUMMY. And healthy. And pretty! Win-win-win. I love the flavour of plain, whole milk yogurt, lightly sweetened with a spoonful of sugar. The fat adds body and cuts the tartness of natural yogurt. I despise fat-free. Don’t go there with these pops – they’ll be icy and sour.
Ingredients
1 2/3 cups plain whole-milk yogurt 1/4 cup + 6 tbsp granulated sugar (approximate), divided 2 cups blackberries 1 tbsp lime juice (from 1 small lime)
