- 2 cups strawberries, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3/4 cup water
- 8 basil leaves, juilienned
In a medium mixing bowl, toss the strawberries with the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Let the strawberries marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
To a blender, add the strawberries and their juices, the lemon juice and water. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds or until pureed smooth. Add the basil leaves and pulse just a few times, so you can still see tiny pieces of basil.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and place in freezer. After about 1 hours, or when the pops are partially frozen, insert sticks. Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours.
