Strain mixture into small bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much fruit as possible. Mix in lemon juice. Cool to room temperature.

WATERMELON ICE POPS



Watermelon Ice Pops image

Buying a watermelon so often leads to leftover melon. Here's a delicious way to make use of this largesse. Buy 5-oz (150 g) paper "bath cups"-they make great moulds for ice pops, as the paper just peels away. Gelatin helps keep drips at bay and also adds to smoothness. From LCBO Food & Drink Magazine. Time to prepare does not include time to freeze. Watermelon is thought to have originated in southern Africa, where it is found growing wild, because it reaches maximum genetic diversity there, resulting in sweet, bland and bitter forms.

Time 17m

Yield 16 pops

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon gelatin (1/4 oz or 7 g packet)
1/4 cup boiling water
1/2 seedless watermelon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or 1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • Sprinkle gelatin over boiling water and immediately stir until dissolved, about a minute.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to remove red watermelon flesh; measure out 4 cups and add any juice left in scooped watermelon half.
  • Whirl watermelon with sugar and lemon juice in blender then strain, reserving juice.
  • Thoroughly stir in dissolved gelatin. (There should be about 4 cups) Measure into cups or moulds and insert sticks or plastic spoons.
  • Freeze several hours until frozen.
  • Store sealed in freezer-weight plastic bag for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy watermelons for the best flavor.
  • Use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the watermelon flesh, leaving the rind intact.
  • If you don't have a melon baller, you can cut the watermelon into small cubes.
  • Add other fruits, such as berries, grapes, or citrus fruits, to the popsicles for extra flavor.
  • For a refreshing twist, add some mint leaves or cucumber slices to the popsicles.
  • If you're using a mold with multiple cavities, be sure to fill each cavity evenly.
  • Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
  • To remove the popsicles from the mold, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds.

Conclusion:

Watermelon ice pops are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for summer. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a cool and refreshing snack, reach for a watermelon ice pop!
