      Title: Paletas De Melon (Cantaloupe Ice Pops)
 Categories: Desserts, Mexican
      Yield: 8 Paletas

    1/2 c  Water
    1/2 c  Sugar
      1    Fresh cantaloupe; (4 c);
           -chopped
      1 tb Freshly squeezed lemon juice
      1 pn Salt

  Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high
  heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has
  dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.

  Pour the syrup into a food processor or blender. Add the melon, lemon
  juice, and salt and blend until smooth.

  If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap
  on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using glasses
  or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning
  to set (1-1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until
  solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the
  manufacturer's instructions.

  Note: Optionally reserve the melon seeds to make Horchata De Pepita De
  Melon (Cantaloupe Seed Horchata).
