      Title: Paletas De Fresa (Strawberry Ice Pops)
 Categories: Desserts, Mexican
      Yield: 8 Paletas
 
      4 c  Fresh strawberries;
           -preferrably wild
           -strawberries; hulled and
           -quartered
    3/4 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Water
      2 tb Freshly squeezed lemon juice
 
  Combine the strawberries and sugar in a bowl. Let sit until the
  strawberries start releasing their natural juices, 20 to 30 minutes.
  Place in a saucepan with water over medium heat. Simmer until they
  are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  
  Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor, add the lemon
  juice, and puree until smooth, alternatively, you could leave some
  chunks in if you like.
  
  If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap
  on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using glasses
  or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to
  set (1-1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until
  solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the
  manufacturer's instructions.
