Fresa (Strawberry) Paletas

Makes 10 servings

4 c. fresh strawberries, hulled and cut into quarters

3⁄4 c. sugar

1⁄2 c. water

Combine strawberries and sugar in a bowl and set aside until strawberries start to release their natural juice (about 20-30 minutes). After 30 minutes, add water and place in a pot over medium heat. Bring mixture to a simmer. Once strawberries are soft, place strawberries and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and pulse or process until you reach your desired texture—it does not have to be totally smooth. Pour into molds, and freeze.

Place water, sugar and jalapeño in a small sauce- pan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Set aside. Once cooled, strain and set aside. Finely dice 1-1⁄2 cups of the pineapple (this will be used for chunks in the pops) and combine with salt and chili spices. Set aside.
