- When the tomato layer is frzn, layer proportionately on top of tomato layer in the two ice cube trays. Smooth tops with the back of a spoon or possibly palette knife. Transfer to freezer. After 20 to 30 min, insert small woden sticks. Freeze, about 2 hrs or possibly leave overnight.
- Add in a dash of tobasco if you want to heat up these popsicles! These Popsicles are a cooling savoury treat for a summer appetizer. You could also freeze as ice cubes and add in to cocktails, such as Caesars, Bloody Marys or possibly Margaritas.
