Description
Pickle pops are a tangy, salty, and surprisingly refreshing frozen treat made from pickle juice. They’re bold, icy snacks perfect for hot days or post-workout hydration, offering electrolytes and a briny burst of flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dill pickle juice (from store-bought or homemade pickles)
- Optional: 1–2 tsp sugar or honey (to balance sourness)
- Optional: 1/4 tsp chili powder, tajín, or garlic powder (for extra flavor)
Instructions
- In a measuring cup or bowl, combine pickle juice with optional sugar or spices, stirring until dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion as it freezes.
- Insert sticks into the molds.
- Freeze for 4–6 hours or until fully solid.
- To release, run the outside of the mold under warm water for a few seconds and gently remove the pickle pops.
Notes
Use leftover pickle juice for a zero-waste option.For a milder flavor, dilute juice slightly with water.Try spicy or sweet pickle juice for unique variations.Paper cups and sticks work if you don’t have popsicle molds.Keep frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container or bag.
