One food item that be eaten as is. Then if decide that same food can be used for cooking with. Plus making drink beverages to drink with or without alcohol. Oh, and don’t forget the food shell can be used as a bowl or for decoration. Wow, what is this wonderful food item ? Watermelon. One of my favorite foods is watermelon. Watermelon has a variety of uses from art decor, to serving containers to eating.
Watermelon Beverages. Beverages are always a great way to cool off and watermelon beverages are some of my favorite beverages. Cut the watermelon in cubes and then put into a blender with some water. Sometimes a little bit of fresh lime juice can be added for a ting. Yellow watermelons are my favorite however not always available and a red watermelon is just as good. The watermelon beverage can be extended to make watermelon Margaritas, watermelon martini, watermelon and vodka, watermelon and tequila. Don’t forget that you can make watermelon ice cubes ice cubes for your beverages. If you really want to be naughty then add some liquor in those watermelon ice cubes.
Watermelon Salsa. Watermelon Salsa adds that special wow to many entrees. Watermelon salsa is delicious on top of brisket, steak and a hamburger patty. Dice the watermelon in small cubes, cut some Serrano peppers, onions, cilantro, salt and a bit of fresh lime juice. The number of Serrano peppers used is a personal preference because of the hot level. Remember the Watermelon Salsa is going to be put over meat therefore the hot level will be decreased.
Watermelon Cake And Cupcakes. I use Duncan Hines vanilla or yellow cake mix and then add watermelon juice for the liquid. First, liquefy some watermelon in a blender then substitute the watermelon juice, adding a little bit of water might be necessary if your watermelon juice is too thick. Then read your cake box instructions and add the watermelon juice instead of water or milk to your cake mix. I like to make my own frosting and powdered sugar always has a recipe for frosting. To ensure a moist cake BEFORE you put frosting on the cake poke tiny holes with toothpicks on the cake and then with a clean spray bottle spay some watermelon liquid to keep the cake and/or cupcakes moist. When making the frosting typically calls for milk however you can still add the milk reduced amount and add some watermelon. Taste, taste and taste to make sure that you are going to like this before you serve to your guest.
Watermelon Grilled Slices. Watermelon slices are great because you can grill the watermelon outside on a grill or grill the watermelon on a grill skillet inside. Plus when you grill the watermelon the sweetness is enhanced. Cookie Cutters are a great way to get creative and have the watermelon in different shapes
Watermelon Art. This is a great bonding opportunity for you and ___. Just don’t turn this into a “I can do this better than you moment”. Remember this is a bonding moment where you show the beautiful works that can come about from working together. You can make a fruit basket out of watermelon, a salsa bowl, or a serving bowl for potato salad or anything you want.
In conclusion, watermelon is a food with many different options. Watermelon Season also has a psychological ting. Watermelon Season shows us that the colder weather is gone and watermelons are here. Regardless, what food item you make with your watermelon, your watermelon will be a welcome treat to most people. Seasons Change and the watermelon just proved that !
