Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

Watermelon ice
2 1/2 cups 1/2-inch cubes seeded watermelon (from 2-pound piece)
1/4 cup sugar
8 5-ounce disposable paper cups
8 ice pop sticks or wooden coffee stirrers
Lemon ice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blueberry ice
2 cups fresh blueberries (from three 1/2-pint containers)
1 cup water
5 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • For watermelon ice:
  • Blend watermelon and sugar in processor until smooth. Strain puree into bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much fruit as possible.
  • Place cups in shallow baking pan. Spoon watermelon puree into cups, dividing equally (scant 3 tablespoons each). Freeze until mixture is almost frozen, about 2 hours. Cover cups with rounds of foil, sealing tightly at edges. Using tip of small knife, make 1/4-inch slit in center of each foil cover. Push ice pop stick through slit and securely into watermelon ice without hitting bottom of cup. Freeze until watermelon ice is solid, about 1 hour longer.
  • For lemon ice:
  • Bring 1/2 cup water and sugar to boil in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Mix in lemon juice, orange juice, and vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
  • Place pan with frozen pops on work surface; carefully fold back foil over each cup without dislodging stick. Spoon lemonade into cups, dividing equally (scant 3 tablespoons each). Reseal foil. Freeze until lemonade layer is solid, about 2 hours.
  • For blueberry ice:
  • Stir blueberries, 1 cup water, and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Boil until berries are very soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Strain mixture into small bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much fruit as possible. Mix in lemon juice. Cool to room temperature.
  • Place pan with frozen pops on work surface; carefully fold back foil over each cup without dislodging stick. Spoon blueberry mixture into cups, dividing equally (generous 3 tablespoons each). Reseal foil. Freeze until pops are frozen solid, about 8 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
  • Remove foil, then tear or use scissors to cut cup off each pop; return ice pops to pan and freeze until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy watermelon: The riper the watermelon, the sweeter and more flavorful your popsicles will be. Look for watermelons that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will give your popsicles a bright, citrusy flavor. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can be bitter and less flavorful.
  • Add a touch of sweetness: If you like your popsicles on the sweeter side, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to the mixture. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Use ripe blueberries: Ripe blueberries will add a burst of sweetness and flavor to your popsicles. Avoid using frozen blueberries, as they can be too tart.
  • Freeze the popsicles in a single layer: This will help them freeze evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Enjoy your popsicles within 2 weeks: Homemade popsicles are best enjoyed within 2 weeks of freezing. After that, they may start to lose their flavor and texture.
