Bourbon Peaches and Cream Popsicles

I know that summer is past, but you can just hold on a little longer with these...


Summer on a stick.
From Endless Simmer.

Ingredients:

1 c. ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
1/2 c. simple syrup*
1/4 c. bourbon
2 c. plain (preferably full-fat) yogurt


Directions:
Mash peaches; add bourbon.  Add simple syrup to taste; you may not need all of it, depending on the sweetness of your peaches and your affinity for bourbon.  Stir in yogurt.


Pour into popsicle molds; freeze until solid.  With my popsicle mold, this made 10 3 oz. popsicles.



To un-mold, run hot water over the outside of the molds and gently pull on the stick.  Immediately get those popsicles back in the freezer!

*To make simple syrup, I just microwaved 1/4 c. water until boiling and stirred in 1/4 c. sugar.  No need to dirty a pot on your stovetop!  However, if the water cools at all, you'll need to zap it again in order for the sugar to dissolve.
