How to cut and store watermelon 03/22/2011
If you're thinking...um, don't need any help in that department, then have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.
Watermelon is one of the things my family goes for big time. My kids eat lots of it, as can I. We are ending our summer season here, so they are big and juicy and sweet and I'm taking advantage of it as long as I can. However, the problem is that if I don't cut it up right away, removing the seeds, it is a hassle to serve and often goes bad quickly when left on the rind (I buy a quarter or half of a melon). However, once cut, the pieces tend to become slimy if left in too much juice.
No more!
Quick note: If the seeds are along the top as shown below, an easy way to get them all is to take a few swipes with a spoon, scraping a groove just deep enough to grab the seeds.
