Food & Drink: Lemon Blackberry Chardonnay Wine Pops

I ordered these popsicle molds last month from Amazon with the sole purpose of wine pops with them.

I used the simple recipe below for my wine pops.

Ingredients (Makes 6)

1. A regular sized container of blackberries

2. Half a lemon sliced and deseeded

3. 1 tbsp of granulated sugar (optional)

4. 2 tbsp of Chardonnay for each mold. (This will give the pops a hint of the wine flavor without overpowering the pops.)

Instructions

Place the blackberries, lemon, sugar, and Chardonnay in a blender on the Frozen Drink setting.

Blend for about 10 to 20 seconds.

Pour the liquid into the molds only about 80%.

Place in the freezer for 8 to 10 hours.
