I've had a couple of people ask for the lavender-blueberry popsicle recipe. I have adapted it from lavender-huckleberry ice pops from Ice Pops by Shelly Kaldunski.
1/3 C sugar
1 tspn unflavoured gelatin powder
1.5 tspn fresh lavender blossoms, finely chopped (pesticide free!)
*1/4 of lime's thinly peeled zest (try to avoid the pith)
1/4 C blueberries, fresh or frozen
*1/3 C (or less) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 C + 1 C water
In a saucepan, combine sugar, gelatin, lavender, lemon zest, 1/2 C water. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved, boil off some water. Add berries, continue to boil 1 or 2 minutes, lightly crushing some of the berries. Allow to stand off the heat for 5 minutes. Remove zest. Add lemon juice and 1 C of water, stir to combine. Cool to room temperature. Pour into popsicle moulds and freeze.
*You may have to play around with the lemon/lime quantities to taste.
