I made this recipe for a party I recently had and it was a hit! I followed everything to the T and all the ingredients came from my garden. Those who had found out that it was watermelon were afraid to try it at first but after trying it they all wanted the recipe. Read More

This recipe is a great way to get rid of extra watermelon. I was a bit apprehensive just looking at the ingredients but it was delightful. The sweet and spicy combination is great! Read More

Just loved this- and will make it many many more times! Great way to use up leftover watermelon. I found Anaheim peppers (spicy!) but think jalapeno peppers could do well too. I pulled some fresh cilantro (about 1/2 TBS) from my garden and threw in about 2 TBS of lime juice. It was devoured quite quickly! Read More

Like other reviewers stated the ingredients combination may throw you off but once you taste it it's incredible! I substituted the Anaheim pepper for two seeded jalapenos and I also added a pinch of dill weed. Read More
