You slice it, remove rind and pits, cut into medium sized strips, and dehydrate (set the dehydrator to 135 - it takes a long time....aprox 18-24 hours, so fill the dehydrator up to maximize space). It concentrates the sugars/flavor and the texture ends up sort of like like a gummy bear candy crossed with a laffy taffy. Best way I can describe it. Lol. They are yummy! It's great for when you have a bumper crop! We also juice them and make popsicles, or freezer bags full for smoothies, etc. :) Great way to use up the watermelons so they don't go to waste!
We had/have a huge bumper crop of watermelons. Wishing you the same! What variety did you plant? We had Ali Baba and Moon And Stars yellow this year. Next year I'm planning on growing Orengeglo and possibly Ali Baba again. Not sure though.
