Happy Bastille Day
Party like it’s 1789.
My efforts to recreate the tricolor popsicles of my youth have not yet yielded the perfect result, but I think these Bastille Pops are a step in the right direction. To achieve the bluish color, I used blueberries, and the red is made with blackberries (which you can read about in my previous post). Next year, I’ll make the red using strawberries, since I think that would give a stronger contrast that would make the blue appear, well, bluer. But for now, I’m going to nip this little obsession in the bud and just sit back with a popsicle and happy thoughts about liberty, equality, and brotherhood. Anyone care to join me?
And by the way, when I gave one of these popsicles to my son last night? He pointed to the top portion and said, “That’s blue one popsicle.” So, if it’s blue enough for the two-year-old, it’s blue enough for me. Vive la France! Vive la homemade popsicle!
I love the new look of your blog! It’s beautiful.
Your popsicles are so much fun…I miss them, too. The sugar-free substitutes just aren’t as good. I bet yours are incredible. There just might be a market for them out there….what do you think?
