pop! goes my summer: watermelon-honeydew popsicles

My popsicle mold has been getting quite the workout lately. I bought this one last year and I absolutely love it.

So much so that I’ve been inspired to do a weekly “popsicle series” – all summer! Every Wednesday till Labor Day I’ll be sharing a new recipe – and I’m kind of super-excited about it!

This will be a highly personal collection of my very favorite ingredients and flavor combinations, and will range from fruity to creamy, to boozy to soda-y.

Yes I did just write the word soda-y.

Let’s get started then!

I’m embarrassed to admit that I am not a huge fruit eater. Though I’ve been insistent that my kids eat at least 2 servings of fruit each day, I have not set the greatest example. Sitting down to a bowl of fresh fruit simply does not interest me.

There are a few exceptions though – and tops on my list are all the melons. Cubes of sweet, ripe honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon are as tasty to me as they are pretty to look at – perfect for a batch of these striped pops.

You could use one, two or all three melons to make these lovelies – the mixture comes together in a few minutes; the most time consuming part is waiting for each layer to freeze.

So worth it though, don’t you think?

Come back every Wednesday for another pop – it’s going to be a great summer!

Watermelon-Honeydew Popsicles
adapted from Bon Appetit

2 c. 1″ cubed peeled honeydew
2 c. 1″ cubed seeded watermelon
6 T. fresh lime juice, divided
4 T. honey, divided
4 T. sugar, divided

Puree honeydew, 3 T. lime juice, 2 T. honey, 2 T. sugar and 2 T. water in a food processor till smooth. Transfer to a sieve set over a measuring cup; press on solids to extract the puree. Repeat with watermelon. Pour enough watermelon puree into each popsicle mold to fill about 1/4 of the way up. Freeze till solid. Pour enough honeydew puree into each popsicle mold to fill about 1/4 of the way up. Freeze until slushy – about 30 minutes – then place popsicle sticks in and freeze till solid. Repeat with remaining purees, freezing after each layer.

To release the pops, hold molds briefly under hot water.
