Cherry Limeade Popsicles

Cherry Limeade Popsicles

Prep Time 25 minutes Cook Time 4-6 hours of freezing time

Pitting cherries isn't my idea of a good time, but my toddler LOVES to do it. When we made these popsicles, I spent half an hour working on other house projects while she happily pitted a whole bowl of cherries. Perfect!

What you'll need

  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups water (or more if it is too sweet for your taste)
  • 3/4 cup of pitted cherries

Notes:

The number of popsicles this makes will very hugely depending on the size of your molds. In mine, it made 18 (I have pretty small molds).

How to make it

  1. In a blender, blend the cherries and sugar/lime/water mixture until mostly smooth (if you have a really nice bender you can probably get it completely smooth - mine left the cherries in little chunks which was fine with me).
  2. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until solid. Run warm water over the outside of the molds until you can release them easily. Eat immediately.
