Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon (seedless, cubed)
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 3 pieces Whole cloves
- 1 inch Fresh ginger (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Place the cubed watermelon in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the watermelon puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan to remove any pulp. You should have about 2 cups of watermelon juice.
Step 2
Add the honey, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and sliced ginger to the saucepan with the watermelon juice. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle boil. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30–35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Keep an eye on the mixture as it reduces by half and thickens slightly. The consistency should be syrup-like but will thicken further as it cools.
Step 5
Once the mixture has reduced, remove it from heat and discard the cinnamon stick, cloves, and ginger slices. Stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Step 6
Allow the spiced watermelon honey to cool completely before transferring it to a clean, airtight jar for storage.
Step 7
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve drizzled over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or as a glaze for meats.
