Avocado Lime Tequila Paletas

Depending on the size of your molds, this will make about 10 popsicles

Ingredients:

1 cup water

½ cup sugar

zest of 4 limes – about 2 Tablespoons

5 ripe soft avocados

1/3 cup lime juice (about 4-5 limes)

2 ½ Tablespoons tequila

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:

Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and boil until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Add the lime zest and let cool to room temperature.  Strain into a bowl (to remove the zest) and for best results, chill for several hours.

Cut the avocados in half and remove the flesh.  Add to a blender with the lime juice, tequila and salt and process until smooth.  If you need a little more liquid to get things moving, add some of the lime simple syrup.

Add the avocado mixture to the simple syrup and stir until well blended.

Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours. To remove from the molds, run warm water along the outside and carefully ease out of the cavities.

For longer storage, remove from the molds, wrap individually in plastic wrap, place in a large Ziploc bag and store in the freezer.

Anya Gallaccio‘s installation Red on Green may leave elicit a different reaction depending on when you catch the show. Gallaccio plucked the heads of 10,000 roses and arranged them into large neat rectangle. At first the installation may resemble a grand romantic gesture. However, Gallaccio’s interest is piqued by what the installation becomes. In a way Red on Green turns into a type of natural performance as the field of red shifts to brown. She utilizes the loaded symbol of the rose as a starting point for investigating the natural processes of death and decay.
