The watermelon patch produced eleven fruit. Some were eaten raw and others given to neighbors. Juice was made from two. The melon was cut into small pieces and boiled for about ten minutes to make a mash, then strained with a new type of press that I recently purchased. It functions effortlessly and is easy to clean. The juice in one liter jars was pressure canned for long term storage at room temperature.The pictures depict the process. Apparently the seeds have a high nutritional content.
