Watermelon at their Peak; a refreshing idea

Written By Lisa McGowan

All Summer long we've been hearing suggestions for enjoying the herbs, edible flowers, our ever-bearing strawberries, carrots, beets, and more. But, yesterday as the watermelons were reaching peak ripeness, we heard an idea from a first-time visitor, about using just about any variety. We tried it out and think this Texan and his family is on to something special with their long-time tradition that’s just two ingredient with an optional third.

Jacob’s Watermelon Mixer:

  • Slice up a watermelon, removing the rind and toss it into a blender.

  • Using a mesh colander, strain it.

  • Blend in 2 to 3 Tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk or coconut milk.

Done! Unless you want to add a splash of your favorite spirit or soda. So refreshing. Thank you, Jacob and thanks for stopping by for Watermelon at Well Rooted U-Pick Produce Farm in Tumalo.
