Cherries freeze well once they have been pitted. 

So each summer I will freeze a bunch of cherries. And place them into freezer bags and store them in my freezer for year round enjoyment.

Just say I 🙂 

HOW TO MAKE CHERRY RED WINE SLUSHY

• A bottle of Sprite or 7 UP
• Lime
• Vanilla extract

Pair this with a nice steak dinner or lamb shank and your going to be in for a nice evening alone or with someone special. 

IS CHERRY WINE SLUSHIES HEALTHY

Red Wine in moderation is healthy.

And well we all know cherries are packed full of fiber and antioxidants so that is a given. 

Did you know that one cherry has 3 grams of fiber, which aids in digestion, lowers cholesterol, controls blood sugar and can help with weight loss.

Also cherries are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, protein and iron so eating these often is a smart thing to do. 

So why not pair them with some red wine too? 

Red wine has flavonoids in it has  proven to be heart healthy so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 

The type of red wine you use is all about personal preference.

So please go ahead and experiment with your favorites for this one!
