Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/3 c powdered pectin
6 c pureed watermelon
1/2 c lemon juice
4 c white sugar or sugar substitute

Steps:

  • 1. Clean and clear up your workspace because this recipe is messy and gets all over everything (if you cut a watermelon like I do).
  • 2. Find a ripe large watermelon. Wash the outside with cold water. Use a melon ball scoop to scoop roughly 7 cups of watermelon into a food processor or blender.
  • 3. Puree the watermelon so you have approximately 6 cups.
  • 4. Combine the pureed watermelon into a large pot (I use Cuisinart 5.5 Multi-Purpose Pan with glass cover) with the 1/2 cup lemon juice and 4 cups white sugar or sugar substitute.
  • 5. Bring combination to a boil until the temperature of mixture reaches 220 degrees.
  • 6. Add the powdered pectin and boil for another 5 minutes.
  • 7. Remove from the heat and pour into sterilized jars. *I used 12 4oz Jelly Jars. These can be found at your local grocery store or wherever you can purchase canning supplies.
  • 8. Throughly wipe the rims and apply lids and screw on bands. *This is a very important step... without doing this the vacuum seal may not set properly.
  • 9. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
  • 10. Remove from water bath and allow to cool in an area that is dark and away from drafts. *I leave mine sit overnight and test the seals in the morning. That way I am positive that the seal has set properly.
  • 11. If the seals have set properly on your jars... you can eat immediately or store unopened jars for up to a year!

This a sweet spread with a bit of a crunch. Try it with peanut butter on a English Muffin or bagel. I made 4 jars & gave 2 away. As my family will only finish 2 jars in 3 weeks. Recipe source Bernardine, a manufacturer of canning equipment.
