Watermelon Kiwi Popsicles

Ingredients

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons sugar

3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed

8 kiwis, peeled and diced

In a small saucepan, make a simple syrup by heating the water and sugar  until sugar is dissolved.  In a blender, combine the watermelon with 1 tablespoon of the simple syrup.  Blend until smooth.  Divide the watermelon mixture between popsicle molds – you can make the layers even or I did about two thirds watermelon and one third kiwi.  The amount will depend on size of molds.    Add popsicle sticks and freeze at least 2 hours.

In a blender, combine the kiwi with 2-3 tablespoons of the remaining simple syrup (more or less to taste or depending on sweetness of fruit).  Blend until smooth.  Remove popsicles from freezer and pour kiwi mix on top of watermelon mix.  Freeze until completely solid, about 3-4 hours or overnight.
