Some of the things I love about a warm summer day is the sound of the ice cream truck driving by, drinking a fun new summer cocktail, and having a Popsicle! Pastry Affair has a wonderful recipe that will get through those long summer nights, Roasted Strawberry Red Wine Popsicles.
The strawberries are roasted in sugar and balsamic vinegar which brings out the flavor of the berries. Red wine is a major component so it is important to choose a wine that you already love and enjoy. Don’t forget there will be a alcohol in the popsicles so they are for adults only 😉

Ingredients
- 16 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup sweet red wine
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a bowl, mix together the quartered strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and sugar. Spread evenly over a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the berry juices have thickened (but are not burning). Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.
- Place half of the roasted strawberries and juices in a food processor and process until smooth. Stir in the red wine.
- Spoon the remaining half of the roasted strawberries into the popsicle molds. Evenly pour red wine mixture into molds until close to the top. Freeze popsicles for at least 45 minutes before inserting popsicle sticks. Freeze for a remaining 4 to 6 hours, or until completely frozen, before serving.
