Home made fruit ice pops are a healthy alternative to store bought sugar filled pops, and in my opinion taste so much better! They are easy to prepare in a few steps and fun to do together with your kids, my 9 year old daughter assisted with this recipe :) You can try these with other melons as well!
Recipe
4 1/2-5 cups ripe chopped - seedless watermelon - or seeded and remove seeds
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Use a food processor or blender to puree the watermelon. Add the remaining ingredients and process to blend. If seeds remain in the puree strain the mixture to remove seeds.
I used a funnel to pour them into the ice pop molds - these are rocket molds from Williams Sonoma. You don't need molds though you can use plastic bathroom cups for the mold. This amount makes about 8-10 pops, depending on your molds.
When filled, cover and place in your freezer for about 24 hours or until completely frozen. If using plastic cups, when 1/2 way frozen insert popsicle sticks so they stay up, then continue to freeze. When ready to serve you may need to run cool water over mold to loosen.
Enjoy!
