Summertime Honeydew-mint Winesicles

Hi all! How’s the weather where you are? Even with the rolling marine layer, it’s been really toasty here – perfect for popsicles! If you’re looking for a more grown-up version to celebrate the coming summer months, I have a great recipe from food personality and author, Candice Kumai, using Robert Mondavi’s Woodbridge Moscato (that’s right…wine in a popsicle)!

With the Moscato’s light, sweet flavors, it’s pairing with these ingredients is a match made in heaven. What you’ll need (makes 10):

1 cup water

1 cup granulated sugar

4 sprigs of fresh mint

1/2 honeydew melon, peeled and cubed

3/4 cup Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Moscato

In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar and mint to create an infused syrup. Simmer gently for 10 minutes. Cool and reserve.

In a food processor, blend together the honeydew melon and wine. Add the infused syrup and pulse to combine.

Pour mixture into individual molds; add sticks and freeze until solid, approximately 6 hours.

Enjoy!!
