Everyone seemed to enjoy the Agua de Limón con Chía, Agua Fresca recipe on Monday.

The second pop from Paletas: Authentic Recipes for Mexican Ice Pops, Shaved Ice, & Aguas Frescas (Ten Speed Press, Summer 2011) by Fany Gerson aka LaNewYorkina is a straight Paleta recipe.

Paletas de Yogurt con Moras,  Yogurt Ice Pops with Berries

MAKES 8 TO 10

2 tablespoons honey

2 cups fresh blackberries, or the berry of your choice

Rinse the lemon, then peel it. (This recipe uses only the peel, so save the lemon for a different use.) Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved. Add the lemon peel, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fi ne-mesh sieve, then refrigerate until chilled.

Add the yogurt and honey to the chilled syrup and stir until thoroughly combined. Put a bit of the yogurt mixture into each of the molds, to a height of about 3/4 inch. Freeze until the mixture begins to set, about 40 minutes.

If the blackberries are big, cut them in half. Divide the blackberries among the molds, then pour in the remaining yogurt mixture, dividing it evenly among the molds.

If using conventional molds, snap on the lid and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (45 minutes to 1 hour), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, gently fold the blackberries into the yogurt prior to fi lling the molds and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

After dinner yesterday, I started browsing through the paperback edition of Ultimate Cookbook (William Morrow, 2011) by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough. Counting 900 new recipes (with custom options) it could be the only book that a rookie cook wants to get started for meals from dawn to dusk. Don't expect 'food porn' here. It's all recipes and ingredients, no photos or illustrations. They make you comfortable from the get go by breaking information into...
