Ingredients:
600g strawberries, hulled and cut in quarters
150g sugar
120 ml. water
½ lime, juiced
Tajín, to taste
Method:
- Mix the strawberries with the sugar in a bowl and leave for an hour. The strawberries should release their natural juices.
- Place the strawberry and sugar mix in a pan and bring to a boil and then simmer until strawberries are soft, about 5 minutes. Leave to cool.
- Blend the mix with the lime juice. Divide the mixture into ice lolly moulds, snap on lid and place the sticks. Freeze until solid for about 4-5 hours.
- Remove the ice lollies from the mould and sprinkle them with Tajín.
