Rhubarb Popsicles


It may be no secret to some of my fellow bloggers that I have been pining for another rhubarb plant this summer. Well, I finally got one (thanks Butter Nut!) AND another friend allowed me to pick some of her already-well-established rhubarb. It's been too hot for me to be motivated to make a crisp lately, so I've been looking for other dessert-y, rhubarb-y options. Enter: rhubarb popsicles. I'll say it again. RHUBARB POPSICLES! I found this recipe over on food52 and decided to try it out on company tonight in lieu of crisp.
I snuck one out of the ice cube tray in the freezer and they're delightfully tart and creamy. Hooray for popsicles!

Ingredients
1/1/2 C rhubarb
1/2 C sugar (I used honey, and I would use less next time)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/1/4 C whole milk yogurt

Cook down the rhubarb, lemon juice and sugar (honey) until it's tender and falling apart (10-15 min). Let it cool, then mix with yogurt and more sweetener to taste. Pour into popsicle molds, ice cube trays, or whatever suits your fancy. Freeze. Eat.
