Very simple and delicious watermelon jam for the winter
A very interesting jam flavor is obtained from watermelon rinds. Rich, thick syrup and sweet and savory pieces of watermelon can be an excellent winter dessert and will decorate more than one home tea party. To make the sweetness not only appetizing, but also bright, use watermelon rinds along with scarlet pulp to create it. It will give the sweetness a pleasant, beautiful shade and make the taste of the jam softer and piquant. In order to highlight the taste of the sweet dessert, it is recommended to add a pinch of citric acid or natural citrus fruit juice to the mixture. It will make the taste of the delicacy interesting and even more piquant.
Watermelon jam can be stored for 8-10 months. A kitchen pantry or dark closet will do this. The main thing is not to reduce the amount of sweetener in the recipe. In this case, like acid, it plays the role of a preservative and helps the sweetness retain all its beneficial qualities and bright appearance throughout the cold months.
1.We peel the watermelon from the thick and rough rind, trying to “capture” some of the greenery of the watermelon.
It is this that will help the pieces retain their shape during heat treatment, and the scarlet part of the fruit will give the delicacy a bright appearance and make its taste softer.
2. Place the watermelon pieces in a bowl and add the recommended amount of sweetener.
3. Shake the container with the treat several times so that the sweetener evenly covers the raw material.
4. Leave the workpiece for 12-14 hours. During this period, the watermelon rinds will significantly decrease in volume and the fruit juice will dissolve all the granulated sugar.
5. Add a pinch of acid to the container and cook the sweetness at low temperature for 30 minutes. After the mass has cooled completely, we repeat the process several times until its thickness suits us.
6. Use watermelon jam for 10-12 months at your discretion.
