Ingredients

2 1/2 cups frozen pineapple thawed (10 oz)
1/2 cup water divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar divided
2 tbsp lemon juice divided
2 1/2 cups frozen pitted sweet cherries thawed (10 oz)

Instructions

Add the frozen pineapple chunks with 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Pour the pineapple mixture into a measuring cup or glass with a spout for easy pouring. Set aside.
Rinse the blender bowl and add the frozen cherries with the remaining water, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Process until smooth.
Alternate pouring the pineapple and cherry mixtures into the popsicle mold so that you get an alternating pattern.
Place the top on the popsicle molds and insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold. Let freezer for 4-6 hours, until firm.
To remove the popsicles from the mold, run the outside of the mold under warm water for about 10 seconds, being sure not to get any water into the inside of the mold.

Notes

Feel free to use fresh, ripe fruit in place of the frozen fruit if you have it.

Any type of sweetener can be used to make popsicles. Use the same amount of granulated sugar, honey, or agave nectar.

The popsicle mixture will be thin, so if your popsicle mold doesn't have spots to hold the sticks upright, you may want to freeze the pops without sticks for about 30 minutes, then add the sticks once they're partially frozen.
