How to Make Winesicles
Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring to help sugar dissolve. Cook until boiling and the amount of liquid is reduced by half.
Add the gelatin, stir until dissolved, then remove from heat. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
Chop your fruit into pieces that will fit in your popsicle molds. Set aside half of your chopped fruit. Puree the other half of your fruit — this will create a luscious texture for the popsicles.
In a medium mixing bowl (or in your saucepan if it is large enough), stir together the cooled gelatin syrup, fruit puree and red wine.
Arrange the remaining fruit (slices) in your popsicle molds. Pour your wine mixture over the fruit in your popsicle molds.
Freeze until set — at least 4-6 hours (or overnight).
TIP: If you’re watching your sugar intake, it is possible to simply freeze wine and fruit. However the simple syrup (reduced water & sugar mixture) will help your popsicles freeze better and enhances the flavors.
Note: This recipe contains alcohol and is intended for ages 21 and up only. Please enjoy responsibly!
