Watermelon jam is a unique and unconventional type of jam, where the sweet red pulp of watermelon is used to make it. This jam has a light and refreshing taste, and can be easily prepared by following this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg watermelon (red pulp only)
- 500 grams sugar
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
- A sprinkle of grated lemon peel (optional to enhance the flavor)
How to prepare the watermelon:
Peel the watermelon and remove the seeds completely.
Cut the red pulp into small cubes.
Soak the watermelon in sugar:
Place the watermelon cubes in a large bowl.
Add the sugar and lemon juice over the watermelon.
Mix the ingredients gently and leave the mixture to soak for 2-3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. This helps the juice come out of the watermelon and absorb the sugar.
