It’s a warm one today.
The boys and I are keeping cool in the house with the air on while the girls play outside with the neighbors. I decided to slice up my watermelon and make popsicles. A cold treat for the girls to snack on with their friends out in the heat.
Watermelon is a tasty and flavorful fruit that is usually ate during summer in order to keep our bodies hydrated and refreshed. It contains 90% water, and is full of vitamins A,C, B6.
To make the popsicles I grabbed my cutting board, knife, and watermelon. I was out of popcicle sticks I use these other sticks that I had from my bake set. I also grabbed some cookie cutters to see if I could cut out shapes.
After slicing the watermelon I laid them flat on their sides, and used my cookie cutters to cut out the shapes. If you don’t have any, then you can just use a knife to cut out any shape you would like. You can also freeze your leftover pieces of watermelon and add them to your water later.
I pushed the stick in, and placed them on a cookie sheet that I lined with parchment paper.
Put them in the freezer for 45 minutes to an hour.
And now we eat!
Have you tried freezing your fruit to keep you cool during the summer?
