Few desserts scream summer as much as these ice-cold pops on a scorching day. Lime juice adds a tart, refreshing twist to this classic fruit treat on a stick.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 8 to 12

Ingredients

3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (not thawed), preferably wild (about 1 lb)
3/4 cup sugar, or to taste
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup fresh lime juice

Special Equipment

8 to 12 ice pop molds and sticks

Preparation

  1. Simmer blueberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and water in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, until blueberries burst and collapse, 3 to 5 minutes. Purée with lime juice in a blender until smooth. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.) Blend in sugar to taste. Pour into molds and freeze until slushy, about 45 minutes. Insert sticks and continue to freeze until completely hardened, at least 3 hours and up to 1 week.
