Ingredients
- 1 large watermelon
- ¾ cup sugar (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Start by cutting up the watermelon, use all of the good chunks for snacking on. Save the leftover rinds.
- Scrape the pulp out of the leftover rinds and add to a blender. Blend until smooth and then pass through a fine mesh sieve.
- Add the strained watermelon juice to a small sauce pan, add the sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the juice turns to a syrupy consistency.
- If the the watermelon syrup is still pulpy you can strain it once more and then let it cool in the fridge for a few hours.
