Watermelon spoon sweet
An authentic summer sweet I enjoyed in Fourka, Chalkidiki, last summer at the “Takis” fish tavern.
It was the sweet aftertaste after a meal with sea flavors of the best quality that really impressed me.
At a table hidden in the salt-trees, gazing at the deep blue of the sea, I enjoyed the sweet made by Vicky, which had a summer authentic note.
The truth is that I keep in a safe place the jar with the sweet that Vicky has given me.
The recipe is yours …

Ingredients
Directions
We take the watermelon peel, remove the green part and leave if we only want a little red part from the watermelon core.
We cut it into small pieces, depending on how thin we want it to be, and in a bowl of water that covers the watermelon we drop the peel and the sour.
We mix and leave it at least 2 hours.
We pour a glass of water into the pot and the sugar and we let it boil a little while stirring until the sugar melts.
We remove the watermelon from the bowl and pour it into the boiling water.
Let it simmer for 1 hour and when it just starts to "thicken" put the lemon juice and the leaves of the apple geranium or vanilla.
Afterwards, we take out the leaves because the sweet has already got the aromas.
We put the sweet in sterile jars and "hide" them in a dark and cool place to have a "summer note" in our kitchen also in the winter.
