You also know we like food... a lot. SO ... in order to tighten our belts, save a little money and still eat great ... we are going to try cooking at home!! Isn't that novel? Most of the time we are just gonna cook regular old food certainly not worth blogging over but from time to time we are going to experiment, try something new and that I am going to share with YOU! Don't you feel lucky.
Gil wanted to jump right in trying something new with a recipe he found on line for Watermelon juice. It was super duper easy and very yummy.
Start with a nice juicy watermelon. We picked a seedless one because it was easier to strain and you don't have to worry about swallowing bits a pureed seed.
Scoop out all the pretty pink flesh but avoid the bitter white stuff it is yucky!
You can scoop it into a bowl and work it over with a potato masher first but we opted to just scoop right into the food processor.
Then you gotta puree crap right out of it!
This becomes....
THIS!
Next up you have to strain it with a thin mesh stainer or a cheese cloth. You don't HAVE to stain it but I do recommend it or it is just too thick. We added half a cup of water but no sugar as we felt the watermelon was juicy enough all on its own. Then we put the pitcher in the fridge and chilled it for a few hours. The result?
Delicious!!!
