Ingredients

6 cups cubed seedless watermelon (from about 4 1/2 pounds of watermelon), rind removed

1 to 4 tablespoons sugar (optional)

Preparation

Working in batches, place watermelon and sugar (if using) in a blender. Puree until completely liquefied, stirring watermelon as necessary so all cubes are blended and mixture is smooth. Pour into twelve 3-ounce ice-pop molds or plastic cups. Insert sticks or wooden spoons into puree, and freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
