Tasteful Thursday - Cherry Lime Ice Pops

A nice treat for the hot summer days!

Cherry Lime Ice Pops

Sweet summer cherries with a touch of lime make these sweet popsicles a perfect treat on a hot summer day.

I love the deep red color you get from using real cherries and the flavor is not that artificial cherry taste you get from those imitation flavored pops, it's richer with a more intense cherry taste.

If you plan on making these, I highly recommend buying a cherry pitter, there are so many to choose from on Amazon. Stay cool!

PS- You can find the popsicle molds on Amazon too! I used this mold, with regular popsicle sticks.
