As much as we love the previous desserts, we’re not sure that any of them beat cold watermelons, so naturally sweet that they were once processed into sugar. Ice down a big melon and forget heat, humidity, and your air-conditioning bill.

Ingredients

  • 1 watermelon

Method

  1. Chill the melon in the refrigerator or iced down in a tub. Slice and serve.
  2. Save the leftover watermelon rind to turn into Wonderful Watermelon Pickles.
