Watermelon Cube With Balsamic Vinegar Recipes

WATERMELON CUBES WITH AGED BALSAMIC VINEGAR RECIPE:

Steps:

• Cut the watermelon flesh into 1 1/2-inch cubes.
• Use the small end of a melon-baller (or cut with knife into bite-size pieces) to remove a scoop of flesh from one side of the watermelon cubes, creating a small cavity for the juice.
• To serve, place a watermelon cube, cavity-side up, on each of 6 small plates and squeeze a little lime juice over them. Fill each cavity with balsamic vinegar. NOTE: I use a dropper to add the balsamic vinegar.
• Makes 6 servings.

BALSAMIC WATERMELON CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• To a high-sided medium/large kettle (use one bigger than you think you need), add the vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, and heat over medium to medium-high until mixture boils and can sustain a fast rolling boil.
• Boil for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until reduced by about 80% and has thickened and is syrupy; stir intermittently and keep an eye on it so it doesn't bubble over.
• When the sauce looks like it's about halfway done, taste the sauce, and if it's too vinegary and bitter for you, add part of or all of the remaining sugar. I personally use almost 1 cup. Sauce will thicken up more as it cools.
• To a medium bowl, add all the remaining ingredients, stir to combine, and drizzle as much of the balsamic reduction as desired.
