Cantaloupe Popsicles
These cantaloupe pops promise a burst of fresh fruit flavor with each bite.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 ripe cantaloupe
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
-
Slice the cantaloupe in half, remove the seeds and scoop out the meat and place in a blender. Purée until smooth. This should yield about 32 ounces of liquid with a regular-sized cantaloupe. (My mold is for 6, 1/2-cup popsicles but this will be enough to make 8)
-
I like to make sure the sugar is completely dissolved so I combine the sugar (see note) with about 1 cup of the cantaloupe purée and heat it on the stove over medium heat for just a couple of minutes. Combine this slightly-heated mixture with the rest of the purée.
-
Pour the purée in popsicle molds and freeze.
Recipe Notes
Depending on the size and sweetness of your cantaloupe you may need more or less sugar. A rule of thumb when tasting is that the puréed fruit and sugar mixture will taste almost too sweet before it is frozen. It mellows out once frozen.
