It’s often hard to talk yourself into buying a whole watermelon when you’re a party of 1 or 2. That’s just too much watermelon! So you pass it up and buy something smaller like a cantalopue. But it’s just not the same thing!! There’s something about watermelon that says summer in a way other fruits don’t!
If you want to knock a watermelon down in size you need to not look at it as something you need to tackle wedge by wedge. Instead, blending it into a watermelon cooler, cube it into a watermelon salad, or freeze up some of these delicious watermelon popsicles.
If you’re good at freezing you can even get them to keep so that you can taste a little summer even when the clouds start settling back in over the valley and the leaves start turning color. By then it will be pumpkin season. Aargh!! But pumpkins are so huge!!!
