Garden Bounty … With Kids!






Honeydew-Tomato-Basil Popsicles

A creative flavor combination transformed into a fun 'scavenger hunt'; perfect for the last days of summer heat.
See if your little pirates can identify the ‘hidden treasure' ingredient in these Popsicles



Makes about 6


Ingredients:
2 cups cubed honeydew melon
1 large or 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and cut into chunks
10 large basil leaves
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Sweetener to taste (depending on sweetness of melon and tomatoes): honey or agave or simple syrup pinch of salt

Instructions:
  1. In a blender, puree together the melon, tomatoes, basil, and lemon juice. Taste the mixture—depending on how sweet (or not-sweet) it is, add anywhere from a splash to 1/4 cup of sweetener plus a pinch of salt and blend again. Adjust seasoning according to taste. When frozen, the flavors will dull slightly, so add a little more than you think is necessary.
  2. Pour into Popsicle molds and freeze according to the molds’ directions.
