✓ Ingredients:
– 1 large watermelon
✓ Instructions:
1. **Extract the Juice:**
1. Cut the watermelon into chunks, removing the rind and seeds.
2. Place the watermelon chunks into a blender and blend until smooth.
3. Pour the watermelon puree through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl to remove the pulp, extracting as much juice as possible.
2. **Reduce the Juice:**
1. Pour the strained watermelon juice into a large saucepan.
2. Bring the juice to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
3. Simmer the juice, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to a thick, syrupy consistency. This can take several hours, so be patient and keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
3. **Cool and Store:**
1. Once the juice has reduced to a honey-like consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Pour the watermelon honey into sterilized jars and seal tightly.
4. **Use:**
1. Store the watermelon honey in the refrigerator.
2. Use it as a natural sweetener in your favorite recipes or as a topping for toast, yogurt, or desserts.
Enjoy your homemade watermelon honey!
