Comments:
When your kids are craving a "cool" treat on a warm summer's day, give them these tasty and refreshing melon popsicles flavored with lime. They will love you for it!

Note:
Popsicles can be made substituting cantaloupe, watermelon or other sweet melon of your choice instead of the honeydew, if desired.

Ingredients:
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

Instructions:
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.

Note:
Popsicles can be made 2 days ahead (flavor diminishes if made any earlier).

Makes 6 to 10 popsicles.
