Watermelon ice
2 1/2 cups 1/2-inch cubes seeded watermelon (from 2-pound piece)
1/4 cup sugar
8 5-ounce disposable paper cups
8 ice pop sticks or wooden coffee stirrers
Lemon ice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh blueberries (from three 1/2-pint containers)
1 cup water
5 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • For watermelon ice:
  • Blend watermelon and sugar in processor until smooth. Strain puree into bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much fruit as possible.
  • Place cups in shallow baking pan. Spoon watermelon puree into cups, dividing equally (scant 3 tablespoons each). Freeze until mixture is almost frozen, about 2 hours. Cover cups with rounds of foil, sealing tightly at edges. Using tip of small knife, make 1/4-inch slit in center of each foil cover. Push ice pop stick through slit and securely into watermelon ice without hitting bottom of cup. Freeze until watermelon ice is solid, about 1 hour longer.
  • For lemon ice:
  • Bring 1/2 cup water and sugar to boil in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Mix in lemon juice, orange juice, and vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
  • Place pan with frozen pops on work surface; carefully fold back foil over each cup without dislodging stick. Spoon lemonade into cups, dividing equally (scant 3 tablespoons each). Reseal foil. Freeze until lemonade layer is solid, about 2 hours.
  • For blueberry ice:
  • Stir blueberries, 1 cup water, and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Boil until berries are very soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Strain mixture into small bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much fruit as possible. Mix in lemon juice. Cool to room temperature.
  • Place pan with frozen pops on work surface; carefully fold back foil over each cup without dislodging stick. Spoon blueberry mixture into cups, dividing equally (generous 3 tablespoons each). Reseal foil. Freeze until pops are frozen solid, about 8 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
  • Remove foil, then tear or use scissors to cut cup off each pop; return ice pops to pan and freeze until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy watermelon: The quality of your watermelon will greatly impact the flavor of your lemonade ice pops. Look for watermelons that are deep red in color, have a smooth rind, and feel heavy for their size.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will give your ice pops a bright, tart flavor. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can be bitter and lack flavor.
  • Add some sweetness: If you find your lemonade ice pops to be too tart, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste. You can also use flavored syrups, such as strawberry or raspberry, to add a different flavor dimension.
  • Freeze your ice pops in a single layer: This will help them freeze evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Enjoy your ice pops within a few weeks: Lemonade ice pops are best enjoyed within a few weeks of being made. After that, they may start to lose their flavor and texture.
