I just can’t resist picking up berries at the market. They’re so dang pretty! I pitted a handful of sour cherries along with a few blueberries from last week’s market and tossed them in the food processor. I gave them a quick strain, then divided the juice in two containers. I added milk and cream to one bowl of juice for a creamier popscicle. Then I just added some seltzer water to the other juice for a fruitier treat.

I let them freeze for a day or so and brought them out as dessert after our quesadillas. I tried a creamy one while Aaron tasted the fruity one. Both were pretty good, but I wasn’t completely satisfied with them. I think I would add more fruit juice to them next time for a stronger flavor. I thought the creamy one was going to be like ice cream on a stick, but it had more of an icy texture than I expected. I think I need to use yogurt next time. Whatever the case, they were a tasty, cool treat.
