Watermelon is one of the most refreshing and beloved fruits of the summer. But what if you could enjoy its flavor even during the coldest days of winter? With a bit of preparation and care, you can preserve watermelon in two delicious ways — as whole pieces in jars and as a refreshing juice — and store them for long-term use.
Below you’ll find two easy and original methods to preserve watermelon: one that keeps the fruit intact for snacking, and one that turns it into a sweet, tangy juice. Both recipes are homemade, practical, and require only a few simple ingredients.
