TRUVíA® WATERMELON JELLY
Nothing says summertime to me like watermelon. Honestly though, I will eat watermelon in the dead of winter, if it's available to me. I switch-up sugar for the Truvía® Baking Blend just look at the Calories count! Getting creative a few years ago, I saw a watermelon rind pickles at a local street festival, and I thought why can't I make watermelon jam? I got to work, and though it seemed to take a lot of watermelon, the results were amazing!
