Grape is a common
fruit available around the world. Popsicles are known in Tamil Nadu as Kuchi Ice. They are many flavours of Kuchi Ice. When summer begins say by March itself small vendors in bicycle with a wooden box filled with ice blocks with the different flavoured popsicles will blow horn in the streets. We kids will be eagerly waiting to get our favourite Popsicle.
Requirements :
Black grapes – ¼ kg
Sugar / honey – 2 tbs ( optional )
Salt a pinch ( To enhance sweetness )
Method :
Wash the grapes and
pat dry .
Grind the grapes and strain the juice.
Mix in the sugar /
honey to the juice.
Pour the juice into
popsicle mould.
I used small plastic
cups as I don’t have popsicle mould .
you can use paper cups.
Cover with aluminum
foil and insert the popsicle stick.
Keep in the refrigerator
at the freezer compartment for 6 – 7 hours or overnight.
Take out before
serving. Unmould by showing the outside of the cups in running water.
Grape popsicles are
ready to serve.
Chef’s suggestion :
Adding a pinch of salt to sweet dishes enhance the sweetness.
To this popsicle quarter teaspoon of chat
masala can be added to make – masala popsicle.
These popsicles look so fruity and I could do with one right now:)
