Paletas de Yogurt con Moras - lemon

Method

• Rinse the lemon, then peel it.
• (This recipe uses only the peel, so save the lemon for a different use.)
• Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan.
• Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved.
• Add the lemon peel, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Let cool to room temperature.
• Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, then refrigerate until chilled.
• Put the yogurt and honey in a blender, add the chilled syrup, and blend to combine.
• Pour a bit of the yogurt mixture into each of the molds, to a height of about 3/4 inch.
• Freeze until the mixture begins to set, about 40 minutes.
• If the blackberries are big, cut them in half.
• Divide the blackberries among the molds, then pour in the remaining yogurt mixture, dividing it evenly among the molds.
• If using conventional molds, snap on the lid and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours.
• If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (45 minutes to 1 hour), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours.
• If using an instant ice pop maker, gently fold the blackberries into the yogurt prior to filling the molds and follow the manufacturers instructions.
