The journey of my melons has come to an end .. this year! I used my largest melon weighing in at 13 pounds for my recipes. Below is a recipe for sangria that even non watermelon lovers enjoyed!



1 1.5 litre bottle of dry white table wine
4 cups watermelon chunks, seeded & then pureed
3/4 cup Brandy
1/4 cup - 1/2 cup instant dissolving sugar
1 1/2 cups sparkling water
Apple slices
Grapes ... or cut of fruit of your choice

watermelon ice cubes (using a melon baller make watermelon balls and then spread out on a cookie sheet;freeze)





Using a hand held blender or a blender puree the watermelon. In a large serving jug pour in the bottle of wine. Add the brandy, pieces of fruit & pureed watermelon;stir. Gradually add the sugar until you reach the desired sweetness.

When ready to serve add the watermelon ice cubes and sparkling water.

Enjoy & do the Watermelon Crawl
