Yield Makes 6 to 10 popsicles

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup superfine or regular granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 (3 1/2-lb) ripe honeydew melon, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups)
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
Special Equipment
6 to 10 Popsicle molds and sticks

Steps:

  • Dissolve sugar in water by stirring if using superfine or by heating in a small heavy saucepan if using regular granulated (then cool).
  • Blend half of melon and half of lime juice in a blender until smooth. Add syrup and remaining melon and lime juice and purée until smooth. Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-quart glass measure or bowl, pressing on solids and then discarding them.
  • Pour mixture into molds and freeze until slushy, about 2 hours.
  • Insert sticks, then freeze Popsicles until completely hardened, at least 6 hours.
