Blueberries are in season right now and this is a perfect time to use them in a dessert/snack that is easy to prepare and would appeal to everyone, from the young to the old.
Is there anything more refreshing than an ice cold popsicle after spending time outside during a hot summer day? And if this popsicle has lots of good nutrition, doesn't that make it even better? I think so.
Blueberry/Lemon Yogurt Popsicles*
2 cups fresh whole blueberries, washed
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons Joe and Son’s Lemon Fused Olive Oil
1 cup whole milk yogurt
1/2 cup honey (We used local Palma Ceia honey)
Place the blueberries in a medium sauce pan over medium heat along with 2 tablespoons of water, the lemon zest, and honey.
Heat the blueberries until simmering for approximately 2-3 minutes. Use a potato masher to slightly crush the blueberries. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, and then add the yogurt and olive oil, whisking until blended.
When the mixture is at room temperature, portion into 12 popsicle molds and freeze.
Try this with other fruits as well! I’ve made them with strawberries, and they were very good, too.
