Watermelon Ice Slice

5 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 handful candied ginger bits, the size of small to regular peas
  • 2 1-inch thick cross sections of watermelon, with or without seeds
  • 12-16 popsicle sticks
  • 4-6 cups strawberry, peach, or grapefruit juice
  • optional if using a seedless watermelon: about 25 small frozen black grapes, as pointy as possible OR about 50 Chinese salty-sweet watermelon seeds

Directions

  1. 1
    Put the ginger in the freezer.
  2. 2
    Cut the watermelon cross-sections, and divide each watermelon circle into 6-8 wedges, leaving the seeds if desired. Next cut away the rind. Put a popsicle stick on each. Poke each piece several times with a fork.
  3. 3
    Pour the juice into a large casserole dish or similar. For 5-15 minutes, soak the wedges on their sides in the juice.
  4. 4
    Push some pieces of the candied ginger into the watermelon.
  5. 5
    Optional if the watermelon is seedless: cut the frozen black grapes into halves. Since they are frozen, it is easy to gently press them into the watermelon. OR for a taste-surprise, stick a few Chinese watermelon seeds into and on each slice.
  6. 6
    Freeze on a tray. With waxed paper, you could make layers.
