How To Make Cherries, Chocolate & Red Wine Ice Pops!

Who says ice pops are just for kids? Combine red wine, dark chocolate and cherries, and you'll have the adults standing in line for these babies!

You'll need:

1 cup Thomas Fogarty Cabernet (or your favorite Cabernet) 
1 bar of 70% or higher good-quality dark chocolate, chipped into small chunks
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup cherries, deseeded and smashed

Here's how to make them:

1. In a saucepan, heat the sugar and the wine on medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just begins to simmer.

2. Add the cherries and allow to cook for about 3 - 5 minutes. Cool slightly.

3. Process everything except the chocolate in a food processor or standing blender until smooth.

4. Return to the saucepan and stir in chocolate to melt and combine. Cool.

5. Pour the mixture into molds and freeze for about 1 1/2 hours, then insert wooden sticks. Allow to freeze until solid an additional 3 - 4 hours. To remove from molds, run warm water over the molds to help release the ice pops.

Variation: Freeze in a shallow glass casserole pan stirring a few times during the freeze time. Serve by scooping into bowls! If you are feeling really stressed, just eat it out of the container with a giant spoon!
