Ingredients

  • Blender
  • Fine-mesh sieve
  • 2 cups unsweetened pomegranate juice, divided 500 mL
  • 3 tbsp agave or corn syrup, or 1/4 cup (60 mL) brown rice syrup 500 mL
  • 2 cups wild blueberries, raspberries or blackberries, thawed if frozen 45 mL

Method

  • In a glass measuring cup, mix 1/4 cup (60 mL) pomegranate juice with syrup.
  • Heat in a microwave oven until mixture is thin, about 10 to 20 seconds on High.
  • (You can also do this on the stovetop, in a small saucepan over medium heat, heating for about 1 minute.)
  • Add to blender with remaining juice and berries; puree at medium speed (see Tip, left).
  • Strain through sieve placed over a large measuring cup, pressing down and scraping solids with a rubber spatula to extract as much pulp and juice as possible.
  • Discard solids.
  • Pour into molds and freeze until slushy, then insert sticks and freeze until solid, for at least 4 hours.
  • If you are using an ice pop kit, follow the manufacturers instructions.
