Recipe Notes

How to pick a watermelon:

  1. Find the field spot- This is where the watermelon sat on the ground while it grew. Locate this spot and it should have a creamy and yellow color to it. If it’s white or light yellow, pick a different watermelon. 
  2. Tap it and listen– If it makes a deep and hollow sound it’s a good indication that the watermelon has more water and it’s riper. Dense and dull sounds means the rind is too thick and not ripe enough. 
  3. Lift and feel how heavy it is– The watermelon should weight more than it’s size. This means the fruit is ripe and has more water.

How to cut a watermelon:

The easiest way to cut a watermelon is to slice it into inch thick circles. Start slicing each circle in half. You can then slice each half into triangles. If you want to dice it, slice the circles into long sticks. Cut off the skin and dice into cubes the size you'd like them to be.
