Daft name, isn't it, and a really simple idea but so nice.
You need a ripe melon and a sharp knife.
Cut the melon into quarters longways, remove the seeds and then cut each quarter sideways across into wedges.
On a baking sheet or tray that will fit into your freezer, open freeze the slices (I interleave with easyleave sheets so nothing sticks to anything else).
When the wedges are frozen hard, bag them.
What you have is something like lots of small melon ice lollies. Hold each wedge by the rind and nibble away at the flesh. Its sweet, cooling and very refreshing, the melon taste is not at all watery and one wedge takes long enough to eat to satisfy.
And - er - wash your fingers afterwards when you chuck away the rind!
Perfectly natural, no artificial ingredients and extremely SW friendly.
Sounds delicious and very practical too.
ReplyDeleteHi and thank you!
DeleteThy are surprisingly delicious and very refreshing. A good way to make a melon go far, I think.
I used yellow melon. I'm not sure watermelon would work quite so well.
