About a month ago I was asked by Metro International to create a recipe for a boozy popsicle, and I created a really delicious recipe using rum, coconut, and grilled cherries (a favorite combination of mine right now). Metro International published said recipe and my photos without crediting the recipe nor the image to me, nor linking back to my website (grumble grumble grumble). SO I am sharing it here with all of you, and publicly claiming ownership of my recipe. I hope you enjoy it, especially as we head into the dog days of summer, when rum and fruit in frozen form is a necessity for survival.
