Cherry and pineapple are a match made in heaven – especially when paired together in these Cherry Pineapple Popsicles. An icy summer treat that’s perfect for cooling off on the patio.
In a blender combine pineapple chunks with 1/3 cup of pineapple juice. Taste and sweeten with 1 Tbsp. simple syrup, if necessary. Transfer pineapple puree into a liquid measuring cup with a spout and set aside.
Rinse out the blender. Puree cherries with remaining 1/2 cup pineapple juice. Taste and sweeten with 2 Tbsp. simple syrup, if necessary. Transfer cherry puree into another liquid measuring cup with spout.
Pour cherry puree into molds, filling half way. Next, slowly pour in pineapple puree.
Cover popsicle mold and insert wooden sticks. Freeze for 4-5 hours, until firm.
To remove popsicles from mold, submerge mold into room temperature water for 60-90 seconds. Remove from water and pull popsicles out.
Simple Syrup:
In a small sauce pot, combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil until sugar has dissolved. Let cool to room temperature. Store in fridge until ready to use.
