Firecracker Pops

Happy 4th of July!  Today brings out some fun and yummy red, white, and blue themed treats.  This one is no exception.

Everyday Food, July/August 2010

Ingredients:

1/2 pound strawberries, hulled
1/2 pound blueberries (we used blackberries because our daughter doesn't like blueberries)
1 1/4 cup organic, whole milk, vanilla yogurt (we used Strauss)

Directions:

• In a food processor, puree strawberries.  Transfer to a small bowl.
• Next, puree blueberries.  Transfer to a small bowl.
• Pour the 3 mixtures, alternating, into 3-ounce popsicle molds, making 3-5 layers each.
• With a skewer or thin-bladed knife, swirl mixtures together in an up-and-down motion.
• Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until solid, about 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

Note: for a smooth consistency with these super seeded berries, you may want to press them through a sieve.
