- I used these popsicle molds from Amazon
- In my experience, I have had difficultly removing the plastic mold cover, so I prefer to use foil to cover the popsicles molds.
- Use 100% pineapple juice
- I like the pitted frozen dark sweet cherries from Trader Joe's
- The simple syrup helps to give these popsicles a creamy texture
