How to Make Watermelon Jelly

To make this jelly, you will first need watermelon juice. Remove the rind from a watermelon and cut the watermelon into pieces.

If you are using a food mill, simply put the watermelon pieces into the mill and run it through. Use the fine mesh for your mill, so that you are just getting the juice.

If you do not have a food mill, you can use a food processor blender, but you will need to remove the seeds first. Then strain it through several layers of damp cheese cloth to remove the pulp.

You will need 2 cups of watermelon juice for this recipe.
