Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the pureed watermelon and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and stir while bringing to a simmer. If you strain the puree, the syrup will be smoother.
- Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Stirring occasionally, simmer until the mixture has reduced by at least one half in volume and becomes syrup. About an hour and a half.
- Remove from heat to cool, syrup with thicken further. Then place in a glass bowl or jar, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Keeps 5 days in the refrigerator.

Could this be turned into a watermelon lemonade syrup? How much lemon juice do you think would need to be added?
Likely yes! Perhaps try a ½ cup lemon juice to the 4 cups watermelon, but you’ll likely have to adjust to your taste. Otherwise you could make the Watermelon Lemonade Jam recipe (https://www.watermelon.org/recipes/watermelon-lemonade-jam/) and then over low heat on a stove top add warm water by the tablespoon to get desired consistency. Here’s a reference article on eHow: https://www.ehow.com/how_12332757_make-syrup-jam.html.
can you freeze this?
I know watermelon form ice crystals when frozen, but with the water reduction plus the sugar I was wondering maybe it’s possible?
