Mango and Passion Fruit Popsicles

Makes 6-8 medium popsickles

Ingredients:

4 ripe passion fruits

1 medium ripe mango

1 cup of sugar

2 cups of water

Juice of 1 lime

A pinch of sea salt

A pinch of rock salt

A handful of fresh mint leaves

1tsp ginger paste

Process:

In a saucepan put together the sugar and water.

Put the flame on low to medium and let it come to a boil.

Simmer for 7-8 minutes and then check the consistency of the syrup. If poured from a spoon the syrup falls in a single string your syrup is ready. Switch off the gas and transfer the syrup in a bowl and let it come to room temperature.

Cut the passion fruits and scoop out their flesh. Pass them through a fine mesh or sieve to extract their juice. Collect the juice in a bowl and keep them aside.

Peel the skin of the mango and cut their flesh. Blend the mangoes to make a puree and then pass them through a fine mesh or sieve to discard the fibres.

Collect the mango puree in a separate bowl.

Once the syrup comes to room temperature mix the passion fruit juice and mango puree with it.

Add a sprinkle of sea salt to cut through all the sweetness.

Add the rock salt.

Roughly pound the mint leaves and add them to the syrup as well.

Finally add the ginger and lime juice to them.

Stir everything and leave this mixture inside the fridge for a good 4-6 hours.

After 6 hours strain the liquid to discard the leaves and the ginger.

Pour them in popsicle molds and freeze overnight inside the refrigerator.
