i have a summer bucket list of things to do (go to the ocean, go camping, watch a sunset at llano seco sanctuary unit) and things to cook (angry cajun shrimp pasta, homemade tomato paste, grilled romaine salad with jalapeno ranch). do you have a summer list? you totally should, i think its a great way to get down on paper (so you won't forget!) all those fun things you want to do/places you want to go during these hot, long days of summer. if you have little ones, its fun to sit down as a family and come up with a list together, you just might be surprised by what they come up with!
those are just a few of the things that made my list, and i'm so glad these popsicles did.
since i had made a fresh batch of freezer strawberry jam the other day, i went ahead and used that as the berry filling and skipped adding any sugar, but i bet roasting the berries first, like in the original recipe, would be super tasty.
i think next time i will roast some strawberries and blueberries with some balsamic vinegar or orange juice + zest and then add that to the coconut milk with no extra sugar. i'm thinking that if i roast the berries to intensify their flavor and sweetness, the popsicles won't need any extra sugar and they would be paleo friendly.
