WATERMELON JELLY
This recipe was posted by request. I've not made it, myself, but I have a friend who I know would enjoy it, so plan to make some next time watermelon is easily available. :)

Steps:
- Blend watermelon pieces in blender for about 1 minute on medium speed.
- In large kettle, mix melon, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Bring to a boil.
- Stir in liquid fruit pectin and boil fifteen minutes, stirring.
- Skim off the foam and pour into jars.
- Wipe rims, place lids, screw on bands finger-tight and process in a boiling water bath for ten minutes.
- Remove to a protected surface to cool undisturbed.
- Note: this is an adopted recipe, and needs a bit of tweaking. I plan on making the jelly with a thermometer in the future to ensure that the results are consistent.
- Note #2: I've received questions about the 15 minute time listed in the recipe. Almost all of the watermelon jelly recipes I've found doing a search are for 1 minute. As this recipe has already been reviewed as is, I don't want to alter it too much. But as an alternative, I'd like to give you a recipe from Epicurious.com, whom I've found to be a reliable source. Watermelon Jelly, courtesy of Epicurious.com: 4 cups seeded, diced watermelon, 3 1/2 cups sugar, 2 Tbs lemon juice, 1/2 of a 6 ounce pkg of liquid fruit pectin (1 foil pouch). Instructions: Place diced watermelon in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend or process until smooth (should have 2 cups watermelon puree). In a 6 to 8 quart kettle combine the watermelon puree, sugar and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down) over high heat, stirring constantly with a long handled wooden spoon. Stir in the pectin all at once. Return mixture to a full rolling boil; boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove kettle from heat; skim off foam. Ladle jelly into clean, hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Wipe jar rims; adjust lids. Allow to cool completely away from drafts, then store in cool, dark place. Makes 4 half pints.
- Note #3: from RecipeZaar user Foggy Kitchen come these helpful comments. "Mine did not gel and I had to research why not. Follow directions! Detail on the Pectin box distinctly separates fruit w/pectin -vs- bowl of sugar on side to be added LATER, then briefly fast boiled (the one minute reference).".

SUMMER WATERMELON JELLY
This recipe is from southernfood.about.com. Very sweet, but also very tasty! A great recipe for making lots of tasty jelly for very little money. I make multiple batches and give away lots of jars! These instructions assume that you are familiar with the basics of jelly making. The yield is approximate. UPDATE: Some reviewers found this too sweet and had trouble getting it to set. I did some research and suspect that the problem may be variances in the acidity of watermelons. I would suggest adding about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to ensure proper acidity.

WATERMELON JAM
When I think of summer, I think of watermelon at its peak. This sweet, juicy and refreshing fruit is only here for a couple of months--definitely not long enough for me! I wanted to develop a simple and quick way to enjoy this summery fruit into the frosty months beyond. The consistency of the jam is slightly looser than traditional jam, but it's still very spreadable.

Steps:
- Stir together the sugar (starting with 1/3 cup if your melon is perfectly ripe and sweet and up to 1/2 cup if it isn't), pectin and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
- Add the watermelon to a blender or food processor and blend or pulse to the desired consistency. For a preserve or jam-like texture, blend or pulse for less time. For a smooth jelly, blend or pulse for more time. Stir in 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice.
- Add the watermelon mixture to the sugar mixture and stir until well combined and the sugar has fully dissolved, about 2 minutes (this will also help the pectin bloom). Taste and add the remaining lemon juice, if desired. Let sit at room temperature until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 45 minutes.
- Spoon into two 8-ounce mason jars or another freezer-safe container. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 1 year.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar all over the parchment.
- Place watermelon rind in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse, rinse saucepan, and return watermelon to saucepan.
- Stir salt and enough water to cover into watermelon rind in the saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain, rinse, rinse saucepan, and transfer watermelon to a bowl.
- Combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup white sugar, and lemongrass in the same saucepan; bring to a boil, add watermelon rind, and stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid evaporates, about 30 minutes. Continue simmering, stirring constantly, until remaining liquid evaporates and watermelon rind has a gumdrop-like consistency, about 30 minutes more.
