Watermelon syrup

updated

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 500 g melon(s) (watermelon, the flesh in cubes)
  • 750 g sugar
  • ½ lemon(s), the juice

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest time approx. 12 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 12 hours 40 minutes

Leave the diced melon pulp in a bowl with the sugar in the refrigerator overnight. CAUTION! It will absorb plenty of water, so don’t choose a bowl too small! The next day, place the melon and its juice in a tall saucepan, add the lemon juice, and roughly puree with a hand blender. Cook together for about 25 minutes. Strain the mixture through a sieve, collecting the syrup in a bowl. Then filter this again through a large fine-mesh sieve. Bring to a boil again and, while still hot, pour into prepared bottles, sealing immediately. Tastes delicious with vanilla ice cream, over pancakes or pudding, etc., or topped up with mineral water for a lemonade.
