HONEYdew mojito pops

Not a being a huge fan of “mint”, I figured I would have a tough time with this month’s Improv Cooking Challenge ingredients, MINT & MELON… That is, until a friend was describing her favorite drink: Watermelon Mojito. I thought, hmmmmmmmm – I could play around with that.

So I did…

But then I came across a recipe for honey-lime simple syrup. And it was obvious that the mint leaves should go into that, instead of being blended with the fruit.

I love my blender! It made short work of those honeydew chunks.I did have some difficulty pouring directly into the molds, though (& that was before the rum!)

My two “of-age” tasters loved the popsicle!

I even made a batch without rum for the teenagers. Again, rave reviews.Except from me – I just do not enjoy mint & lime.

 

But, here are some more MINT & MELON recipes developed by my friends:
