We discovered this watermelon dessert quite by accident. It has been tested twice to great acclaim so now I feel confident shearing it.
Ingredients:
1 seedless watermelon
3 limes
1/2 orange
2 tablespoons pealed fresh ginger root, crushed with the flat side of a knife or in a garlic press
1/2 fresh jalapeno pepper finely chopped, reserve membrane and seeds
3 tablespoons candied ginger - finely chopped
Directions:
1. Fill a 2 quarts bowl with bite sized cubes or triangles of the watermelon (no rind)
2. Transfer into a larger bowl (large enough to mix the watermelon without too much pressure) and chill.
3. Juice the limes and the orange and steep the jalapeno membrane and seeds and the fresh ginger in the juice (including the pulp) for about an hour and a half.
4. Pour the citrus juice mixture through a strainer over the melon and sprinkle with the candied ginger and the jalapenos - use your judgement - if the jalapeno is particularly evil you might have to use less - let your taste buds make the final decision and keep in mind that after an hour or so it will get milder.
5. Mix gently, cover, and keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
6. Mix one more time before serving, transfer into the 2 quarts bowl and ENJOY!
We have found it very refreshing and surprisingly delicious!
