Rhubarb-Mint Popsicles
The mint and the rhubarb in the recipe as written create a popsicle with a lot of flavor. We liked them this way, but if you want to tone it down, add a bit more water and use less mint when you add it at the end.
Makes 5 popsicles
10 minutes preparation time
25 minutes cooking time
5 cups chopped rhubarb
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons mint, minced and divided
1 cup water
Put the rhubarb, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of mint in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer with the pot covered until the rhubarb is meltingly soft, about 20 minutes. Stir in the remaining mint.
Let the mixture cool. Pour it into popsicle molds. If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use a standard Dixie cup. The mixture is thick enough that it will even hold a popsicle stick. Freeze until the popsicles are frozen solid.
