1 cup red wine
1/3 cup sugar
1) Combine blackberries, wine and sugar in a medium pot.
2) Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring and crushing the berries, until sugar dissolves (about 5 minutes).
3) Use a slotted spoon to fish blackberries out of the syrup mixture. Divide the berries among 10 3oz popsicle molds. Pour the syrup mixture over the berries, filling each mold.
4) Insert the sticks/bottoms of the molds. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
Review: I let these freeze 24 hours, but due to the chunks of berries and the alcohol content, these were a bit crumbly. The original recipe called for a 1/2 cup of water also, but I only have 7 molds (Mike broke one awhile back). I think the addition of water would likely make for a firmer popsicle. The blackberry and red wine combo makes for a DELICIOUS popsicle. I used a non-fancy red blend wine, which was a particularly strong wine. It worked well for this purpose. I wouldn't recommend using a nuanced wine for this - go bold!
