Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the pureed watermelon and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and stir while bringing to a simmer. If you strain the puree, the syrup will be smoother.
- Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Stirring occasionally, simmer until the mixture has reduced by at least one half in volume and becomes syrup. About an hour and a half.
- Remove from heat to cool, syrup will thicken further. Then place in a glass bowl or jar, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Keeps 5 days in the refrigerator.

Great article, thank you for sharing! The topic is genuinely interesting and the way you explained it makes it easy to follow. I’ll definitely keep this in mind.
can you freeze this?
I know watermelon form ice crystals when frozen, but with the water reduction plus the sugar I was wondering maybe it’s possible?
Could this be turned into a watermelon lemonade syrup? How much lemon juice do you think would need to be added?
Likely yes! Perhaps try a ½ cup lemon juice to the 4 cups watermelon, but you’ll likely have to adjust to your taste. Otherwise you could make the Watermelon Lemonade Jam recipe (https://www.watermelon.org/recipes/watermelon-lemonade-jam/) and then over low heat on a stove top add warm water by the tablespoon to get desired consistency. Here’s a reference article on eHow: https://www.ehow.com/how_12332757_make-syrup-jam.html.
