    Title: Paletas De Fresa (Strawberry Ice Pops)
    Categories: Desserts, Mexican
    Yield: 8 Paletas

    4 c Fresh strawberries;
    - preferrably wild,
    - hulled & quartered
    3/4 c Sugar
    1/2 c Water
    2 tb Lemon juice;
    - freshly squeezed

    Combine the strawberries and sugar in a bowl. Let sit until the
    strawberries start releasing their natural juices, 20 to
    30 minutes. Place in a saucepan with water over medium heat. Simmer
    until they are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room
    temperature.

    Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor, add the lemon
    juice, and puree until smooth, alternatively, you could leave some
    chunks in if you like.

    If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds,
    snap on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using
    glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are
    beginning to set (1-1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and
    freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop
    maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
