Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh watermelon diced or cubed
- granulated sugar amount depends on desired sweetness, typically ½ to 1 cup
Instructions
- Place the diced or cubed fresh watermelon in a saucepan.
- Add granulated sugar to the saucepan, starting with ½ cup, and adjust according to your desired level of sweetness.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow to cook for about 10 minutes, or until the watermelon pieces have softened.
- Use a potato masher or a spatula to press the watermelon and release all the juices.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the watermelon syrup cool.
- Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any remaining watermelon solids, leaving you with a smooth liquid.
- Transfer the watermelon simple syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle for storage.
- Seal the jar or bottle tightly and refrigerate the syrup until ready to use.
Notes
- Storage: Store this watermelon syrup in an airtight mason jar or glass bottle for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months! Thaw in the fridge before using it.
- Try an ice cube tray: Consider freezing the watermelon syrup using an ice cube tray. This way, you have easy and small portions so you only thaw what you need.
- Blend before straining: You can put your syrup mixture in a blender to help break down the watermelon instead of using a masher.
