Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 fresh cherries (about 4 cups), stemmed, pitted, halved, or 2 10-ounce bags frozen cherries, thawed
  • of kosher salt
  • 2 (or more) sugar
  • 1 (or more) fresh lemon juice
  • Ten 3-ounce ice-pop molds and wooden sticks

Instructions

  • Purée cherries, salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water in a blender until smooth. Taste and add more sugar or lemon juice, if desired. (Purée will taste less sweet once frozen, so err on the sweet side.)
  • Divide purée among ice-pop molds and insert sticks. Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours. Dip molds briefly in hot water to release paletas.
  • DO AHEAD: Paletas can be made 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.
