    Popsicles for Adults Only

    Just got my new Foodie from Central Market and these recipes, and others, were in there for summer cooling.

    Enjoy!

    RE: Popsicles for Adults Only

    oh yummmmmmmm! These sound great. Wish I still had popsicle molds. I may need to race across county line to a wet county and get some ingredients! "Honey....we're going on a liquour run!!!!" LOL. Or maybe I could make these for Bunco in 2 weeks!!! Wow...you're giving me lots of ideas. And I'm still at school and can't do anything yet!!!!!!! (I usually have seniors this period, but they left early last week!)

    I haven't tried this yet - just got it from Rachel Ray's magazine but it sounded really good to me (although I'm not sure what star anise pods are).

    Sangria on a Stick

    1/3 cup sugar
    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    Zest of 1/2 lime
    3 cups fresh pineapple chunks (about 1 pound)
    2 dried star anise pods
    1 1/2 tablespoons white rum
    Juice of 2 to 3 oranges (2/3 cup)
    2 1/2 cups dry white wine

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, ginger and lime zest. Add the pineapple and toss.

    Scrape the pineapple into the skillet, add the star anise and cook, without stirring, until the pineapple caramelizes, 5 minutes. Stir in the rum and let the alcohol burn off, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the orange juice, scrapping the bottom of the pan; let cool.

    Discard the anise. Puree the fruit mixture in a blender. Stir in the white wine and pour the mixture into ice-pop molds. Freeze until solid - about 4 hours. Makes 12 pops.

    Hi, Rosie.

    I saw them make the Margarita Popsicles on The View the other morning. Meredith and Starr never put them down after the first taste.
    Sounds good to me.
