So! I love popsicles, but they’re too sweet for me. I’ve always thought savory popsicles should be more of a thing, so here’s my go with something (very Canadian) that I loved: ketchup popsicles!
They’re actually 80% tomato juice & tomatoes are a fruit, so you could just call them tomato popsicles.
Today’s experiment is different though – I got the idea last year while thinking about other kinds of savory popsicles I’d like to try and never got around to it ‘til today: Thai green curry popsicles.
They’re in the freezer now. If I like them I’ll share the recipe.
They’re soooo good!
Just make sure you get a good brand of low sodium tomato juice, and NOT Campbell’s. (I use the store brand from Sprouts and it’s perfect.) The amount of sodium in Campbell’s tomato juice is practically toxic.
The 20% ketchup content is there for a little bit of sweetness and some tanginess, but I have to admit calling them ketchup popsicles is more fun just to see the looks of horror on people’s faces. 😆
Haha, that’s been suggested! We would add gin to them ourselves, because we prefer a Red Snapper. It would be tricky to add enough to be able to taste it without so much that it would prevent it from freezing solid, though. That would call for a bit more research.
We’ve had one near us for a while now. They’re really good for some things, not so good for others, so I still make the regular rounds between that, the Trader Joe’s, and my locally owned neighborhood supermarket. Not to mention the slightly farther out Latin and Asian markets!
Yeah we’ll be super fortunate to be by that, Whole Foods (lol), Target, a big supermarket chain, Trader Joe’s, the Italian Market (and now also Mexican Market), and lots of Vietnamese shops. Plus smaller local grocery places and corner stores as needed. All within 15-20 min walks max. Super excited!
