Watermelon Popsicles

Drescription

Yellow or pink watermelons would both be delicious. A seedless watermelon is easier to blend up, as you don’t need to pick out the seeds (which can add a bitter note if blended).

Ingredients

6 cups cubed watermelon
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
12 freezer pop molds or paper cups (3 ounces each) and wooden pop sticks

Directions

Place watermelon, sugar and lime juice in a high powered blender; puree until smooth. Spoon into molds or paper cups. Top molds with holders. If using cups, top with foil and insert pop sticks through foil. Freeze until firm. To serve, let pops stand at room temperature 5 minutes before unmolding.

Cindy Mushet's Italian Jam Shortbread Tart

The dough is one simple shortbread that you use for both the crust and the topping (which will make you wonder why you'd ever make them separately). You can make the entire thing in about an hour, including clean-up, and yet somehow it comes out looking like a Byzantine mosaic.

Breakfast

Gluten-Free Irish Soda Bread

Searching for recipes for a gluten-free diet can be challenging during the holidays. Here is a recipe for Irish soda bread that I have adapted over time for St. Patrick's Day. The recipe calls for rice and tapioca flour instead of wheat and it still tastes yummy! Good if wrapped and left overnight, but I think it tastes great right out of the oven. Serve with butter or jam.
