Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 8h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup sugar
1 large bunch cilantro, stems and leaves roughly chopped (about 1 packed cup)
3 cups 1-inch cubes honeydew melon
Zest and juice of 1 lime (about 1 teaspoon zest and 2 tablespoons juice)
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Bring the sugar and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the cilantro and stir until completely wilted. Let cool completely at room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
  • Put the melon, lime zest and juice and a pinch of salt in a blender. Strain the cilantro syrup into the blender, pressing the cilantro in the strainer with the back of a spoon to extract as much flavor as possible; discard the cilantro. Puree the melon mixture until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender partway through if needed. Transfer the mixture to a large liquid measuring cup with a pouring spout.
  • Pour the mixture into the molds, leaving 1/4 inch of space at the top (the mixture will expand). Insert the sticks. Freeze until solid, 5 hours to overnight. Unmold, and enjoy immediately.

HONEYDEW LIME POPSICLES



Honeydew Lime Popsicles image

From epicurious.com. Original recipe calls for making a simple syrup as I have posted but I substitute the amazing ginger syrup from Recipe 123111 instead. I don't get all fussy with the straining or partial freeze before inserting the popsicle sticks... I just puree and freeze in my Norpro molds from Sur La Table. These are delicious!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe honeydew melons: Look for melons that are firm, heavy for their size, and have a smooth, creamy-colored rind. Avoid melons with bruises, cuts, or soft spots.
  • Chill the honeydew melon before using: This will help the popsicles freeze more quickly and evenly.
  • Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice will give your popsicles the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use 100% lime juice, not a lime-flavored drink.
  • Add a sweetener to taste: If you like your popsicles sweeter, you can add a little sugar or honey to the mixture. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Use popsicle molds or paper cups: You can use either popsicle molds or paper cups to make your popsicles. If you're using paper cups, be sure to insert a popsicle stick into the center of each cup before filling it with the mixture.
  • Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours: Before enjoying your popsicles, be sure to freeze them for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Conclusion:

Honeydew lime popsicles are a refreshing and delicious summer treat that are easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy snack that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a cool and refreshing treat, give honeydew lime popsicles a try!
