Tips:

  • Fresh Watermelon: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe watermelon. Look for watermelons that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color.
  • Choose the Right Vinegar: The type of vinegar you use can make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce. For a tangy sauce, use white vinegar. For a sweeter sauce, use apple cider vinegar.
  • Add Some Heat: If you like a little heat in your sauce, add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. You can also add a jalapeño pepper for a more pronounced heat.
  • Use a Food Processor: A food processor will make quick work of pureeing the watermelon and other ingredients. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender, but you may need to blend the ingredients in batches.
  • Let the Sauce Simmer: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
  • Taste and Adjust: Once the sauce is done simmering, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more sugar, vinegar, or salt.
