Notes
Freshly ground black pepper in best in these popsicles. You can use pre-ground but it won't have the same bite. I don't recommend white pepper, it won't taste the same.
Use the freshest, ripest strawberries you can. You can sometimes get 'jamming strawberries' which is fine for this recipe as they are cooked and blended.
Best eaten within 2 -3 days or they loose their bite. Still delicious after that but the black pepper taste will fade.
