Triple-Decker Citrus Popsicles
"From Sunset magazine. Note freezing times."
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice (from 2 to 3 blood oranges)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice (from 3 to 4 large tangerines)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed white grapefruit juice (from 1 to 2 grapefruit)
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup superfine sugar
- 1 -2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
directions
- Taste the blood orange juice. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoons lemon juice and stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
- Taste again to see if it has the right sweetness and tartness for you, bearing in mind that, when frozen, the juice will taste more subdued; add up to 1 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoons lemon juice if needed.
- Repeat with tangerine and grapefruit juices, using the same range of sugar and lemon juice for each.
- Fill each of 8 popsicle molds 1/3 full with blood orange juice and freeze, making sure they're level and upright, until firm to the touch, about 45 minutes.
- Fill each mold 1/3 more with tangerine juice and freeze just until firm to the touch, another 45 minutes.
- Carefully insert sticks, leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches of each sticking out. Freeze until sticks feel solidly anchored, about 45 minutes.
- Fill each mold to top with grapefruit juice, cover, and freeze 2 hours or overnight.
- To unmold, run warm water over the individual molds just until popsicles release from sides, 5 to 15 seconds.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
