Notes about this recipe

    My husband and son really enjoyed these, although I tend to prefer the fruit and yogurt pops I've made. Mine were very sweet, probably because the watermelon I used was overly ripe. Next time I would reduce the sugar when using such a ripe melon. I left in the seeds, which were well-pureed in the Vitamix, but think a better option would probably be to puree less and instead strain out any seed pieces, as this might lead to a slightly finer texture. Some of the pops were icy in texture, and I'm not sure whey this seemed to vary. '

    These taste like summer! They come together quickly and aren't overly sweet.

    I really like these. I really like watermelon, so no surprise there. I didn't have lime juice on hand, so I skipped it. They're sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. And I prefer the texture of these to the strawberry ones as they have less fruit solids in them. The solids do float to the top, but it's not very noticeable.
