Cherry Limeade Paletas

If you saw the tasty looking popsicles we were snacking on in our last post, you might be wondering what kind they were. Since we haven't posted a recipe in a very long time, we realized we were totally overdue and needed to do a summer-themed recipe. Our result? Cherry Limeade Paletas. 
We used the cherries that Laura freshly picked from Rasch Family Orchards up in Conklin last week and they were perfectly sweet and savory. 
My cherry picking partner: 

Cherry Limeade Paletas

 Ingredients:
Popsicle molds
 2 C. sweet cherries, pitted and chopped
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. lemonade
1/2 C. sugar
Water if needed

Directions:
Pit and chop cherries until you have 1 full cup.
Put cherries in blender with lime juice and lemonade and blend until smooth.
Add sugar and puree the mixture until thinned. Add water if necessary.
Pour mixture into popsicle molds.

Yields: 4 full-sized popsicles


These make for a great summer refreshment on a hot and humid day.
Did anyone else in the Midwest go cherry picking this year? It's my favorite fruit to pick (probably because it's the easiest).

xoxo,
Laura & Katelyn
