Blueberry Moonshine Popsicles

1. 1

   Pick out any stems or leaves from the blueberries and puree them in a food processor.

2. 2

   You should have about 21/4 cups (18 fl oz) of puree.

3. 3

   Combine the pureed blueberries, simple syrup, and lemon juice in a bowl or measuring pitcher with a pouring spout.

4. 4

   Taste.

5. 5

   The precise amount of simple syrup and lemon juice needed will depend on how sweet the berries were to begin with.

6. 6

   Be aware that blueberries are one of the rare fruits that you dont want to oversweeten because they tend to get sweeter as they freeze.

7. 7

   Stir in the moonshine.

8. 8

   If you wish, now is the time to strain out the skins by pressing the gloppy blueberry mixture though a colander or sieve using a wooden spoon, a rubber spatula, or your fist (blueberries stain skin, so those choosing the third route might want to wear gloves).

9. 9

   Or dont, and leave them in.

10. 10

    Pour the mixture into your ice pop molds, leaving a little bit of room at the top for the mixture to expand.

11. 11

    Insert sticks and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours.

12. 12

    Unmold and transfer to plastic bags for storage or serve at once.
