One More Thing To Do With Watermelon

August 12, 2011 13 Comments Jump to Recipe

Snack Girl has been obsessed with watermelon. My fridge seems always to have half a watermelon staring out at me.

So far I have done three posts on this incredibly delicious and CHEAP fruit:

This is my last watermelon recipe for the summer, and maybe it is the best. In my house, this is the most favorite way for my kids to consume watermelon (though they love to just eat it).

This is watermelon lemonade and it is refreshing and easy to make. The nice thing about watermelon is that you don't need a juicer to get a puree because it is soft.

My blender works great after you coax the watermelon down into the blade (which may take a few tries - but don't give up!).

This is great to serve at a party and can be a very dangerous drink when mixed with a certain unmentionable alcohol (think Russian).

The watermelon can be enough to sweeten the drink - which is great because then you don't have to add any sugar (like many juices do in the store).

What are your favorite lemonade recipes?
