Recipe Introduction


From EatingWell: July/August 1996


List of Ingredients




1 small cantaloupe (or other preferred melon like honey dew, santa claus or cassaba)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon finely slivered fresh mint leaves (optional)
1/4-1/3 cup lemon juice, depending on the sweetness of the melon


Recipe



Cut cantaloupe in half; remove and discard the seeds.

Scoop out the flesh and transfer to a food processor.

Puree until smooth; measure 1 1/3 cups puree and transfer to a small bowl. (Reserve any remaining puree for another use, such as a smoothie.)

Pour water into a small saucepan, add sugar and bring to a boil over high heat.

Stir in mint and immediately remove from the heat.

Let stand for 1 minute.

Stir the mint syrup and lemon juice into the cantaloupe puree.

Pour the mixture into 8 individual popsicle molds or small (2-ounce) paper cups.

Freeze until beginning to set, about 1 hour.

Insert frozen-treat sticks and freeze until completely firm.

Dip the molds briefly in hot water before unmolding.
