Wowza! Had no idea this would be so good! Just 1 ingredient!

Now, let me tell you about a simple, yet delightfully refreshing treat that brings back the essence of summer with each spoonful - Watermelon Honey. This one-ingredient wonder is a testimony to the ingenuity of traditional home cooking, where less is often more. Originating from those hot summer days when we'd find ways to preserve the bountiful harvests, Watermelon Honey uses the natural sugars in watermelon to create a syrup so rich and thick, it's called 'honey'. Perfect for those who appreciate the pure, concentrated flavors of seasonal fruits.

Watermelon Honey is incredibly versatile. Drizzle it over a bowl of fresh cottage cheese or add a swirl to your morning yogurt. It's particularly delightful when paired with homemade pancakes or waffles, adding a touch of summer sweetness. For a refreshing twist, mix it into your iced tea or lemonade, creating a delightful drink that's sure to please.

Servings: Varies

4 cups of fresh watermelon juice, strained

1. Begin by choosing a ripe, juicy watermelon. Cut into chunks and blend until smooth.

2. Strain the blended watermelon through a fine mesh sieve to collect about 4 cups of juice. Ensure you press out as much liquid as possible.

3. Pour the juice into a large, heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a low simmer over medium heat.

4. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The juice will begin to thicken and reduce. This process may take about 2 to 3 hours.

5. Once the juice has reduced to a thick, syrupy consistency and has a deep, amber color, remove from heat.

6. Let the Watermelon Honey cool completely before transferring it to a clean jar.

7. Store in the refrigerator. It will thicken further as it cools.

For a little twist, you can add a dash of cinnamon or a sprig of mint while simmering the juice. It infuses the honey with a subtle but delightful flavor. Some folks like to add a touch of lemon zest too, which brings a nice edge to the sweetness.
