It's summertime, those children are out of school
0:02
What are you going to find for things to keep them busy
0:09
Camp, camp, camp. The camps can be very expensive, especially when you have like triplets, you know, so it's three times
0:18
So this recipe I had in my magazine, and it calls for a little three-ounce cups
0:30
You know, the paper cups that you keep in your bathroom that you swish your mouth out with after you've brushed your teeth
0:37
Well, I don't have any of those cups. But it just so happens that I have popsicle molds
0:45
So that's what I'm going to use. But I want to show you this picture because I really, really, really like the idea of using the cups
0:54
So it's not a problem if you don't have a... I really like this
1:01
So anyway, it's a good-for-you popsicle. It's got watermelon. It's got honeydew melon, just two tablespoons of sugar, and lemon juice
1:18
So I'm going to put our watermelon into our blender. And we're going to blend it until it's pureed
1:31
Trying to lift it. Watermelon is definitely full of water, isn't it, y'all
1:38
Yep. It is. Look, see all the water off of that? All right
1:43
Two tablespoons of sugar, one tablespoon of lemon juice, and then we're going to blend, blend, blend
1:49
I think that is pureed nicely. All right
2:13
Just to make sure. Alright, let's see where is what I'm looking for
2:25
Alright, so I'm going to pour this through my little mesh strainer
2:45
It blended it up real good y And you should end up with about two cups of this liquid
3:03
I think it makes like eight pops, if I remember correctly. Yes
3:10
in the three ounce cups. I'm going to pour this into my measuring cup
3:16
because it will just be easier to control how I pour it
3:25
I thought we had more than two cups, but it's right at it
3:29
Look. Two cups. We're that much left over, y'all. That would be a fabulous idea, Teresa
3:38
So I can carry it appropriate. Okay. You know, I may ask you to do this because of my lack of vision
3:49
Oh, yeah. Let me do that. Yeah, if you would do that. Now, I just can't judge depth anymore, y'all, because of losing that cornea
4:02
But we're going to fill those about three quarters of the way full. and we're going to put them in the freezer and let that part freeze
4:12
And then we're going to do the same thing with our honeydew and our fresh mint
4:19
So we only got seven out of them. Oh, okay. Well, that's okay
4:23
Well, these are probably bigger than a three ounce cup. That's all right, though. So what I'm going to do now, Paula, is I'm going to put the top on
4:30
Yes. And then I'm going to stick our sticks in. and the next step is they have to go into the freezer
4:39
All right, y'all, we're going to work on the second layer of our popsicles
4:43
while the watermelon juice is in the freezer freezing. So we're going to do this the same way that we did the other
4:58
only this doesn't require lemon juice, but we're going to add the two tablespoons of sugar to this layer as well
5:07
Your kids will have so much fun doing this. And it's a great recipe for them to do because there's no heat involved
5:19
So I'm going to strain our honeydew just like I did. Our watermelon
5:26
and we are going to top after our watermelon layer freezes we are going to top it off with our honeydew
5:41
And we've got some fresh mint here in the yard, and I'm going to take some of that and I'm going to chop it up
5:48
so it's going to be a beautiful red and green and more green colors
5:58
Okie dokie. I'm going to let that sit there and keep straining for a minute
6:03
And since the watermelon part of our popsicles is not frozen yet
6:08
I'm going to put this bowl in the freezer, and hopefully this will start just getting like a slushy
6:14
and it won't take as long, you know, when we top it. So that is the next step
6:22
This is just going in the freezer just like this. I'm rushing this process, y'all, a little bit because I'm trying to want to get it done
6:34
So I have no patience to show y'all. Uh-uh, we don't have patience
6:40
Because I'm pouring this on top of the watermelon. which may not come out in the colors we want, you know
6:54
Oh, fresh mint is so nice. It's so good in our sweet tea
7:01
Oh, it's so good. All right, so I'm just gonna mince this up
7:07
I think that's fine enough. Hope I hadn't overfilled these. So I might take a little bit out so we can have that nice layer of mint on top
7:30
Okay. Yeah. Like I said, I hate that
7:41
I felt the need to rush this process. Because it really is a wonderful little snack for your children
8:00
And I know how they, my grandchildren come in the house. I scream, you scream
8:07
y'all screaming for ice cream, you know, here. So this is just so much better for them So back in the freezer this goes And this probably won be ready till tonight sometimes
8:27
But I will let y'all know how it turned out. Rush, rush, rush
8:35
So y'all yesterday I shot several shows and I love everything I made
8:43
but it's getting it together, freezing it, pulling it back out, put another layer and freeze in it
8:51
I didn't. So I didn't get to finish the pie or these popsicles
8:57
And I made these and I think great, great would love it. What is in it
9:01
It's watermelon and honeydew, and then fresh mint that I diced up real short
9:10
tiny. But this was supposed to be orange and then green and then the green on top. But
9:18
I was so impatient because I wanted to go ahead and get it done. So the watermelon was not frozen
9:25
when I added. And it mixed. And it mixed up. But you know what? Those jillin won't give two flips
9:32
because it's messed up. Now who wants to try this? Everybody wants to volunteer beef. Right, right
9:40
What's that? You think you like that? It's a watermelon hot sip
9:47
Just make you want to try. And there you better. Yeah, but what's that
9:53
Made especially for old rapids. Cheese. D.K. Freeze the squash
10:04
I think the squash is here. You supposed to drop that now? No. That animal
10:08
Take that off the burner for heart. What did she say? What did she say
10:13
She said it's a little hard. A little hard, yes, that's cause it froze the great, great
10:20
So I tell everyone the best dishes. Yes. Jory. Yes, love and frozen best dishes
10:30
Love and best dishes, y'all. I got a little bit going on
10:35
I'll tell you what, I could stick the brew handle up behind me and sweep while I'm doing everything else
10:40
