A refreshing summer treat made with fresh cherries and lime juice, perfect for hot days.

Scale

2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
1 cup fresh lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
1 cup water
½ cup sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference; can substitute with honey or agave syrup)
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Wash the fresh cherries thoroughly, remove the pits, and cut them in half. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the fresh lime juice, water, and sugar. Blend until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add a layer of halved cherries to your ice pop molds.
Pour the lime mixture over the cherries until the molds are filled, leaving a little space at the top for expansion during freezing.
If your molds have a slot for sticks, insert them now. If not, freeze for about 60 minutes until partially solid, then carefully place sticks in the center of each mold.
Freeze the ice pops for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
When ready to enjoy, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to release the pops. Serve immediately and add a mint leaf on top for an extra touch!

Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or using a natural sweetener.
For a fun twist, try adding other fruits like strawberries or blueberries.
