Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon (seedless, cubed)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
Place the cubed watermelon into a blender and blend until smooth. This should yield about 2 cups of watermelon juice.
Strain the blended watermelon through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a medium saucepan to remove any pulp. Discard the pulp.
Add granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice to the saucepan with the watermelon juice.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use the syrup to flavor soft drinks by adding 2-3 tablespoons per cup of carbonated water, or adjust to taste.
