Cherry season is here.  Yaasssss!  I love cherry-flavored anything.  As much as I love fresh cherries, I use frozen cherries a lot for smoothies, sauces and in these ice pops.  When I was a kid, I loved cherry Italian ices, especially the bottom syrupy, crystallized stuff.  I couldn’t wait to flip it over and dig in. <grin>!
