Drunken Watermelon Pops

Ingredients

• 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped, seeds reserved
• 1/2 cup vodka
• 1/4 cup Chambord raspberry liquor or other raspberry liqueur

• 1 (7 lb)  seedless watermelon, peeled, large dice (about 12 cups)

Directions

1. 1

   Combine vanilla seeds, vodka, and Chambord in a large bowl. Add watermelon and toss. Let soak at room temperature, mixing occasionally, until the liquor flavor has saturated the melon, about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Drain off the vodka mixture and arrange the watermelon in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in the freezer until frozen, about 4 hours. Serve with toothpicks.
