Very Easy! The Most Useful Honey – Watermelon Honey! (Without Sugar)

Watermelon honey, also known as “watermelon molasses,” is a sweet, syrupy reduction of pure watermelon juice that requires no added sugar. This homemade watermelon honey is packed with natural sweetness, nutrients, and the fresh flavor of summer, making it a perfect topping for pancakes, toast, or even as a natural sweetener for tea. Best of all, it’s incredibly easy to make with just one ingredient: watermelon!

Ingredients:
1 large, ripe watermelon (about 5-7 kg)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Watermelon:
Cut and blend the watermelon: Start by cutting the watermelon into chunks. Remove the rind and seeds. Place the watermelon flesh into a blender and blend until smooth to create fresh watermelon juice.
2. Strain the Juice:
Strain the blended watermelon: Pour the watermelon puree through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl to remove any pulp or remaining seeds. You should end up with a smooth, pure watermelon juice.
3. Cook the Juice:
Simmer the juice: Pour the strained watermelon juice into a large, wide saucepan. Place it on medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Reduce the juice: Let the juice simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The goal is to reduce the juice until it thickens and becomes syrupy. This process can take 2-4 hours, depending on how much juice you have.
