There's nothing quite so refreshing as a crisp cool slice of watermelon on a hot day. And this watermelon marmalade will bring it to mind. You'll need:
Prep Time: 3 hours, 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 pounds (1 k) watermelon pulp (no rind)
- 1 1/8 pounds (500 g, or about 2 1/8 cups) sugar
- The grated zest of 2 organically grown lemons
Preparation:
Slice the watermelon pulp and interlayer it with the sugar in a pot; let the mixture rest for about 3 hours, and then add the lemon zest, set the pot over a low flame, and cook, mixing and skimming off the foam that comes to the surface until a drop of the marmalade on an inclined plate doesn't run. Turn the marmalade into sterile jars, seal them, sterilize them, and let them cool.
Yield: several jars watermelon marmalade.
