Watermelon Paleta Recipe

Nothing screams summer to me than delicious watermelon. Every farm stand and grocery store is stacked high with fresh, delicious watermelon and I buy one each and every trip. Now watermelon is delicious as it is but turning it in to these delicious Watermelon Paletas is so easy and the perfect summer treat for those hot summer nights.

These paletas, or pops, are perfect for your next picnic or just a yummy snack for the kids.  They’re so easy to make that you’ll find yourself making them any chance you get. Sometimes we won’t be able to eat the entire watermelon when I buy it so I’ll chop up half to snack on and then half for these paletas. 

All you need is some watermelon, water and a little bit of sugar. Grab your popsicle mold or disposable cups (if you don’t have a mold) and you’re all set.

First you want to make a simple syrup by combining the water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar is dissolved.

In a blender, blend watermelon until smooth. Add sugar syrup and mix. Pour in mold and freeze until solid.
