National Cherry Popsicle Day

It's National CHERRY Popsicle Day. Not strawberry, not any other flavor, JUST cherry!

The good news is that you can make them or buy them. If you make them you can use cool aid, drink mix, cherry juice, or marchino cherry juice. You can combine any of these in any amounts.

I've never heard of popsicle police so if you wanted to mix flavors, I'll never tell!

Something I've never tried but think might be interesting would be to use the liquid off of canned beets into popsicle makings. It would sure give a richer color and it would add some nutritional value from the leached vits/mins. That would also help take away from the lack of good stuff if cool aid or drink mix are used. I would start with small amounts of course and then add to one's taste preferences. Doctor Oz is pushing his red juice which is a beet, apple and carrot combo so beet juice added to popsicles would probably even impress him! Why not try it?

I'm going to have to wait and see if there are National Popsicle Days for the rest of the flavors!
