Ingredients

  • 4 cups of cherries
  • ¼ cup of sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 100 g container of greek yogurt

Instructions

  • The first step in making these popsicles is turning cherries into a sweet sauce. Place the cherries, sugar, water and lemon juice in a small sauce pan. Bring cherries to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once the mixture comes to a boil, bring the heat down to medium-low and simmer until the cherries soften. Use a potato masher to gently smash the skin off the cherries and help with the breaking down of the cherries.
  • When the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes, remove from the heat.
  • Place a fine sieve over a medium sized bowl. Pour the cherries into the sieve and use a spatula or, the back of a wooden spoon, to press the cherries through the sieve. At this point we removed the pits and did a little more pressing.
  • Set the sauce aside to cool completely…preferably overnight in the fridge.
  • Pour the cooled cherry sauce into the popsicle mold…fill the mold half way. Scoop 2 teaspoon of yogurt into the mold and top up the mold with cherry sauce. There should be enough sauce for 4 popsicles, at least.
  • Freeze popsicles at least 8 hours…then remove and enjoy.
