Strawberries and Cream Popsicles

Instructions

1. Combine sugar, strawberries and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 12 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes until strawberries are soft and mixture resembles jam. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2. Combine heavy whipping cream, milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
3. Beat yolks in a medium bowl. Add ½ cup of cream mixture to yolks and stir until combined. Add yolk/cream mixture to saucepan with the rest of cream mixture and heat over medium-low heat until temperature reaches 170° F and mixture thickens or coats the back of a spoon. Run through a metal strainer into a separate bowl. Let cool.
4. Divide sweet vanilla cream and strawberry mixture into 10 popsicle molds. Using a small spoon or skewer stir mixtures in each mold to make swirls. Cover, insert popsicle sticks and freeze at least 4 hours or until firm.
