Mixed-Berry Pinot Pops

By MJH

Ingredients

• 1/2 bottle Pinot Noir
• 2 cups water
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup raspberries
• 2/3 cup blackberries

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine water, wine and sugar.

Stir until sugar is dissolved.

Add berries, smashing some slightly with a wooden spoon and leaving some whole.

Using a ladle, pour into popsicle molds (or just a paper cup!), making sure the berries are evenly distributed.

Note: If you're using the paper-cup method, let the pops freeze for about an hour (until they're slushy, but not totally frozen), then place the popsicle sticks in the center.
Putting them in a partially frozen mixture will keep them stabilized. Don't have popsicle sticks? Use spoons or plasticware. Done!
