Rosie Makes Mama Hawthorne's "Things."

 

When I was a little girl,

Mama Hawthorne would make these frozen treats.

I loved them.
 She poured hers into 12 paper-lined muffin tins.

I'll be using my new popsicle molds and popsicle bags.

Mama would always try to hide them,

but I would always find them

and eat about 6 of the little cupcakes in one sitting.

I always called them those "things."

When I found Mama Hawthorne's handwritten recipes,
in her careful penmanship,

I learned they were "frozen fruit salads."

 Mama Hawthorne's Things

 2 cups sour cream

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 tsp kosher salt

2 TB lemon juice

8 oz. crushed pineapple, drained

4 TB chopped maraschino cherries

Optional:  3/4 cup crushed pecans

Mix all together.

Pour into 12 paper-lined muffin tins

or into popsicle molds or bags.
Freeze.

These are my favorites.
Popsicle condoms!

You won't believe how good these are.
Another Trust Rosie moment.
