Name: Blackberry Mojito Ice Pops
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 255 min
Ingredients: 12 ounces (340 g or about 1 1/2 cups) Blackberries (, fresh or frozen and thawed); 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh Lime Juice; 1/2 cup (120ml) Rum; 1/2 cup (120ml) Water; 3/4 cup (180ml) 2:1 Simple Syrup ( (2 parts sugar:1 part water)); Several hearty dashes of Bitters of your choice ((we usually use orange bitters)); 20-25 Lrg Mint Leaves

Bowl

If using wooden ice pop sticks, soak sticks for an hour in warm water before making pops (helps keep them from floating up when inserted into molds.)

If using frozen berries, place them in a blender, food processor, or in a bowl using an immersion blender. Allow to sit at room temperature until thawed.

Combine all of the rest of the ingredients with the thawed blackberries. Pulse until the mint is fairly well chopped up.

Taste for sweetness and add more simple syrup if necessary (it should be a touch too sweet as it will lose sweetness after freezing.)

Pour ice pop base into molds and insert sticks. Freeze for about 4 hours or until completely solid.

Unmold before serving (run warm water around mold if necessary to help it release.)
