Equipment
- Popsicle mold
Ingredients
- 2 cup Cherry
- 1+½ cup Water
- 6 Tbsp Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Lime juice
Instructions
Preparing the ingredients
- Wash the cherries under running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Using a paring knife, carefully cut around the cherry to remove the pit. Be cautious while doing this to avoid cutting yourself or damaging the cherry.
Making the cherry popsicles
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar with water. Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the sugary water into a blender. Add the fresh lime juice and the pitted cherries. Secure the lid on the blender and blend the ingredients until they form a smooth, thick puree.
- Once the puree reaches the desired consistency, carefully pour it into popsicle molds.
- Cover the molds with their respective lids or with plastic wrap. Insert a popsicle stick into the center of each mold, leaving about 1.5 inches of the stick exposed.
- Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
- To remove the popsicles from the mold, run the base of the mold under hot water for a few seconds. This will help release the popsicles from the mold more easily.
- If you have a metal or plastic popsicle mold, you can also try gently applying pressure to the base of the mold to slide the popsicles out. Be careful not to use too much force and break the popsicles.
- Once the popsicles are out of the mold, serve them immediately and enjoy the homemade cherry popsicles.
Notes
- Increase sugar to ½ cup/100g for sweeter popsicles or less lime flavor.
- To get fully translucent popsicles (no bits of cherry skin), strain through a fine mesh sieve or use a high-power blender like Vitamix.
