Recipe of the Week!
I stumbled across this recipe on another blog and after experimenting with it once or twice, combining it with another recipe I found, they've quickly become a favorite around here.
1 pint berries (about 12 oz)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup cream (heavy or light)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup vanilla yogurt
8 5-ounce waxy paper cups or 12 3-oz bathroom cups
popsicle sticks or reusable Popsicle containers
In a saucepan, bring the berries, sugar, and water to a boil. Let simmer for 8 minutes or so (until the berries are soft and begin to break apart). The other recipes have you drain the berry juice, but I love berry seeds, so I left in all the goodness.
Layer the Popsicle as follows.
First: a few dollops of yogurt with a whole berry or two thrown in. Let freeze for about two hours.
Second: Mix about 2/3 of the berry syrup with the cream and mix well. Pour a little over the frozen yogurt. Freeze for an hour or so. (I let it start to get solid, but not so solid that I can't poke the popsicle stick in place.)
Third: Mix the remaining berry mixture with the lemon. Pour that on top. Stick the sticks in the Popsicle. (If using paper cups, put a tin foil cover on to keep the stick from toppling over.) Freeze for two hours.
Remove and enjoy!
