Summer evenings are extra nice when accompanied by a nice cold glass of chilled wine. It could be white or sparkling or moscato; I’m not picky. I happily hold my glass out waiting for a refill or pop a bottle open to enjoy with my family. Yes, we are chilled wine drinkers. Well as the summer months were approaching, I started to get into a groove of popsicle making. I had just bought a new popsicle maker off the web, and was crazy in the kitchen creating new flavors. Then one of my girlfriends was coming over on the first blazing hot weekend; the summer was pitching at us and I know she is an absolute wine lover so I decided to make her a moscato popsicle. I had a large bag of bing cherries in the fridge, and before I knew it… I was pitting cherries and dropping them into my popsicle molds. I filled them up to the top with pure moscato and popped them in the freezer. Once they were frozen (which was at the height of the heat the next day) we were happily ready to eat them. It was like having a sweet glass of wine with frozen cherries on a stick. Yes, I will be making these super easy-to-make popsicle again and again, and I think my girlfriend will too! MORE + LESS -
