All fruit, totally refreshing cherry and watermelon blend together in these popsicles. Frosty fruit treats take the edge off summer’s heat in a most delicious way.
Bring on the sunshine–so long as we have our freezer stocked with naturally sweet popsicles. I really would rather steer clear artificially coloured sugar water, which somehow becomes popular once it is frozen. Real fruit tastes so much better. And I will offer these Cherry Watermelon Popsicles to my children gladly, without regret. The only consequence of them tasting so good is that we could use more popsicle moulds to keep up with the demand!
Cherry Watermelon Popsicles
Ingredients:
- Fresh watermelon cubes, seedless or seeds removed
- Fresh or frozen sweet cherries, pitted
- Fresh lime juice, to taste OR fresh pineapple cubes
Directions:
- Into a blender jar, place watermelon and cherries (at least half of the fruit should be watermelon to provide liquid for blending). Puree fruits until smooth, pausing to push down fruit if necessary. Add lime juice or pineapple to taste, blending again as needed.
- Pour blended fruit mixture into popsicle moulds. Insert popsicle sticks. (Or to make the popsicles colourful, I used thin wooden coffee stirrers partially covered with striped paper straws.) Freeze until solid, remove from moulds, and enjoy!
I share recipes here and at Allergy Free Wednesdays.

Thanks! They are especially refreshing since we don’t have AC!
Beautiful popsicles, and I don’t have to feel bad about eating them? Sign me up 😀
Yep, you can have more than one if you like! 🙂
This looks amazing!
Yes, they were fun to make and tasty to eat. I’ve made two batches this week already.
I know some kids who would LOOOOVVEE these! And a mom who will love them too because they’re healthy as well as delicious!
Thanks! I say go for it!

these sound so delicious and such a great idea to enjoy these on hot days!
stop by and chat 🙂 http://storybookapothecary.com ♥
Thanks for the kind words and the invitation!
these look so good and I’m sure the kids will love them this summer!
Thanks for sharing at the Wake Up Wednesday Linky Party!
Thanks! Next time I might try making the popsicles with strawberries. I love red fruit! 🙂
What kind of mold do you use to make your popsicles? They look so pretty in your pic!
Thanks! They were made in a basic mold that I picked up at a local chain store here in Canada. I think you could find something similar at big box stores or dollar stores. The fun part was adding the stripey paper straws, which I got separately. 🙂
I don’t even like popcicles and these sound pretty darn good to me! http://quirkybohomama.blogspot.com/
Thanks! I like them if they’ve got actual fruit, which these have in abundance! They’re like a frozen smoothie. 🙂
Pinned! I’ll be trying this! (Real Wholesome)
That’s great to hear! I’ll have to look up your site, too!
Such an easy recipe – I love it! I actually have never made popsicles before even though I have the moulds. I think it’s really cute how you put straws inside the popsicles 🙂
The straws were my latest attempt at food styling. I’m glad they turned out well. 🙂
My kids would love these!
You might enjoy them too. I know I have. 🙂
I love that gorgeous deep red colour. So eye-catching! It’s not quite hot enough for popsicles yet (I like to wait until it’s at least 30C), but these are totally going onto my to-make list for the summer.
Thanks! It gets warm inside once the temps rise above 25 C, so we’ve found them refreshing already. 🙂
Watermelon and Cherries sounds like the perfect combination for Popsicles!
Thanks, Laureen! I think we’ll be making batches as long as watermelon is plentiful, starting now!
I agree, real fruit pops just taste so much better! These look lovely 🙂
Thanks, Shareba! 🙂
These flavors sound great together for a fruit pop!
Yes, and they look bright and festive too. Summer is near!
Oh my lord! That combo for a popsicle is KILLER!

Thanks! I love red fruits of all kinds!
Umm, Yessssss! – Kat
That’s what I said too, before promptly polishing one off. 🙂
I am loving these, and your photos are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you like them! Red fruits are among my favourites!
I love these fresh fruit pops. (The artificially colored sugar water type make me cringe. ) Beautiful pictures! Sharing on pinterest. 🙂
Glad you like them! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful and delicious sounding! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Savoring Saturdays! I’m featuring these at this weekend’s party. 🙂
Thanks, Raia! 🙂
Your watermelon pops look so refreshing, would be great after coming in from the heat. Thank you for sharing on Friday Features this week!!
I love watermelon and cherries. I could eat these all year long.
