Watermelon Juice

We have had our Champion Juicer for about 25 years and it still is a workhorse for us. Today it happened to be watermelon juice making day. Yummy stuff and so good for you.

Pretty simple to make actually. (It is kinda messy though) Cut the watermelon into slices that will fit in the shoot and push them through with the plunger. Out comes sweet pink watermelon juice. Its so refreshing when served cold on a hot summer day. I used half the watermelon to make 1/2 gallon of juice. There was just one small bowl, not even half filled with pulp left over (the pulp is not fit for eating in my humble opinion, it tastes terrible) I will use the rind to make some pickled watermelon rind for the holiday season. We usually have it with our Thanksgiving meal.

The pulp will be fed to the chickens. They eat it up which means they must not share my opinion of it.

Nothing wasted !
