Strawberry-Tamarind Paletas

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons tamarind paste
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 cups chopped fresh strawberries, divided

1. Combine granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool completely, about 1 hour.
2. Process tamarind paste and 1/2 cup cooled syrup in a blender on high speed until almost smooth, about 30 seconds. Add cinnamon, 1 1/2 cups of the strawberries, and remaining syrup, and process on high speed until smooth, about 45 seconds. Finely chop remaining 1 1/2 cups strawberries, and fold into mixture in blender.
3. Pour mixture evenly into 10 (2-ounce) plastic ice pop molds. Freeze 1 hour. Insert pop sticks, and freeze until solid, about 3 more hours.
