Instructions
- Scoop the watermelon flesh from the rind and remove the seeds. Cube the watermelon and put it in a large bowl. Add the jalapeño (no need to stir the mixture at this point).
- In a saucepan, bring the sugar and 1 cup of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sugar dissolves to make simple syrup. Let the syrup cool a little.
- Pour the syrup over the watermelon and jalapeño. Transfer the mixture to a blender and process until smooth. Season with salt and pulse again.
- Strain the watermelon mixture through a double layer of cheesecloth into another bowl. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze until firm. The pops will keep in the freezer for up to a month.
