Cantaloupe and mint icy pops...

...is the only way to eat cantaloupe melons if you detest them raw like I do.  Jbird prefers them raw.  

I steeped 2 sprigs of mint leaves in about half a cup of sugar water (1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar).  I mixed this with a puréed mixture of just over half a cantaloupe after the sugar water had cooled.  I then froze the mixture in my icy pop moulds and voilà!  A delicious snack in my freezer.  I'm going to go and have one right now.

Remember to always taste the mixture before freezing.  It will taste the same when it's frozen so you'll be able to tell if there's something wrong with it.  And it will be easier to fix pre-frozen.
