  • Yield: 6 to 8 ice pops servings

Ingredients

2cups fresh raspberries
1 1/2cups filtered water
2tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2cup raw cane sugar, or 6 tablespoons agave nectar
1/2teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, water, lime juice, sugar, and lemon zest. Simmer, stirring often, until the sugar is dissolved, the raspberries have softened, and the liquid is thick, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then puree in two batches in a blender. Strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl, and refrigerate, covered, until completely chilled.

 

Pour the juice into 6 ice-pop molds (or cups with ice-pop sticks), leaving a 1/4-inch space at the top to allow for expansion after freezing. After filling the molds, if there is any juice left over, water it down and enjoy. Place the pops in a freezer for at least 6 hours, until frozen completely.
