Paletas!

 Mmmm, blackberries are in season - and I have the perfect use for them!
My long awaited Paletas cookbook arrived last month, and I found the perfect pop to make.
Boil 1 lemon peel, 1/2 c water and 1/2 c sugar until all sugar is dissolved.  Cool and strain.  Blend cooled syrup with 1 1/2 c plain Greek yogurt and 2 T honey or agave nectar (I prefer the agave).  Fill molds half way and freeze for 30 minutes.  Slice berries in half and drop into molds, using a stick to push them into the yogurt mixture.  Top with remaining mixture and freeze overnight. 

Dreamy.

  1. Yum! I can be there late this afternoon ... will you save me one? ;)
    Have you ever been to Las Paletas (on 12th ave, i think - near Belmont)? They have some really unique flavors.

    You are welcome to drop in any time and share a paleta with us :)
