Recipe from one of my favorite chefs Paulette Mitchell who says: “Among the splendid gifts of summer is the watermelon. In addition to savoring the juicy wedges straight from the market, try making these colorful, refreshing popsicles for adults using the freezing forms seasonally stocked in gourmet shops and in the kitchen department of your local discount store. Buy several sets, so you can multiply the recipe. For quick preparation, look for seedless watermelon, available during the summer in most supermarkets.”
