I can’t believe it’s already August! I know the stores are already into fall/Halloween (and I even saw a bunch of Christmas stuff at Hobby Lobby), but outside it still feels like the middle of summer. With all the hot days we’ve been having, I’ve been making a lot of homemade ice cream and homemade ice pops. In order to keep things fresh and new, I decided to come up with a new ice pop recipe. And since so many tasty fruits are in season right now, I chose to use one of my favorites- cherries! Here’s how I made these refreshing Pineapple, Orange, and Bing Cherry Pops!

Bing cherries are just the usual red, sweet cherries you see at the grocery store. Every summer, I wait for them to come into season, and then spend my summer snacking on them! They’re so good! Which is why I left them as halves in this recipe. I could have blended up the mixture and made them into a puree, but they’re so tasty that I really prefer just leaving the chewable halves!
Pineapple, Orange, and Bing Cherry Pops
Makes 4-6 ice pops (depending on size of molds)
Ingredients
16 Bing cherries – pitted and halved (a cherry pitter makes this go fast!)
8 Tablespoons (1/2 cup) crushed pineapple
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup orange juice
Directions
1. In a large glass or pitcher, mix together the pineapple and orange juices. Set aside.
2. Drop 3-4 cherry halves into the bottom of each ice pop mold.
3. Place 2 tablespoons of crushed pineapple into each mold.
4. Add 3-4 more cherry halves on top of the crushed pineapple.
5. Pour the pineapple and orange juice mixture into each mold, up to the fill line.
6. Freeze overnight or for at least 6 hours.
7. Before serving, run warm water along the bottom of the molds for 10-15 seconds to release the ice pops. Then enjoy your pineapple, orange, and Bing cherry pops!
