They are packed with strawberry flavor and make a perfect treat on these warm spring days.
After this experiment I think I'm going to invest in some nicer molds. My Dollar Tree find worked, but it was a little tough removing from the mold. If you don't have molds, you could opt to use paper or plastic cups instead.
I'm super excited - this time next week I'll be kicking off a fun series. I can't wait to share!
Strawberry Popsicles with a Little Booze
2 cups strawberries, pureed (fresh, not frozen)
6 tablespoons simple syrup*
1 tablespoon freshly squeeze lemon juice
1-2 tablespoons peach schnapps (optional)
Combine pureed strawberries, simple syrup, lemon juice and schnapps in a container with a pour spout. Like this one. Stir to combine.
Pour mixture into popsicle mold or paper cups with wooden sticks. Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours to freeze until solid.
When ready to eat, remove from mold and enjoy!
Make 4-6 popsicles.

2/3 cup water
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved and mixture is transparent. Turn off heat and let cool.
