Every season we make a bucket list of activities to check off in the months ahead. When we need some inspiration for a quick, delicious popsicle recipe, we turned to our friend and all-star chef Ashton Keefe. She's not only a chef, but also an on-air culinary instructor and food stylist. See how Ashton gets to add another satisfying check mark to her bucket list (without spilling on her all-white look).
I love the idea of transforming juices and smoothies into pops. Summer is the best time of the year for non-cooking cooking. I take whatever looks freshest at the market, allow it to macerate (sweat out all that good juice!) with a bit of sugar, blend and freeze. Couldn’t be easier.
In a recipe I always look for what’s in season and then what would look pretty. I’m a firm believer that we eat with our eyes first. It not only has to taste good, but look good. ​
The easiest, simplest, most delicious ice pops you’ll ever make. Embrace an everyday celebration by placing in a wine glass and topping with bubbles. Need a short cut? Purchase the pops, I won’t tell. Serves six. 4 cups of summer fruit such as peaches, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries 1/4 cup sugar The Directions Place fruit in a large bowl and pour sugar over. Toss and gently smash with the back of a fork. Allow the mixture to sit for 20 minutes until slightly juicy and delicious looking. Puree and pour in pop molds. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Place pops in glasses and top with bubbles. Instant party!
