Apple Cider and Rosemary Ice Pops

Submitted by elisechristiane

"This is an delicious Autumn-y popsicle! The recipe is from Locopops, a gourmet ice pop place in North Carolina, but I found it on Bon Appetit's website. The recipe said it made 12 popsicles, but for me it made about 7 large ones."

My lips are now frozen shut. My husband may just like this. Made for PAC Spring 2012.

With the weather still kind of cool out, I wasn't interested in making large pops, so used some kind of small molds for this & got 16 from it! Most enjoyable, too, what with that hint of rosemary in there! Thanks for posting the recipe! {Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
