*Summer Collection-A savory pop-use your orange and yellow tomatoes. For a grown-up taste add a few TB of vodka to the mixture before freezing.
1-1/2 cups chopped seeded heirloom tomatoes (from about 8 oz of tomatoes)
1-1/2 cups Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes (about 8 oz)
3/4 cup seasoned tomato juice, such as V8
1/3 cup finely chopped, seeded English cucumber
1 TB freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons finely minced, seeded jalapeno
Sea Salt
1. Place the chopped tomatoes in a food processor and pulse a few times, just until they're a very coarse, chunky puree. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Stir in the seasoned tomato juice, cucumber, lime juice, and jalapeno. Taste the mixture and add up to 1/2 teaspoon salt. The saltiness of tomato juices varies, so start sparingly, but you'll definately want the pop to have a bit of salty flavor.
2. Spoon the mixture into ice molds and insert sticks. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or up to 1 week.
3. To unmold the pops, run hot water over the outsides of the molds for a few seconds, then gently pull the sticks.
