1/2 c Water
1/2 c Sugar
1 1/2 lb Watermelon; (4 c); peeled &
-diced
1 tb Freshly squeezed lime juice
1 pn Salt
Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high
heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has
dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.
Pour the syrup into a blender. Add the watermelon, lime juice, and
salt and blend until smooth.
If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap
on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using glasses
or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to
set (1-1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until
solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
