Found in MSL July 2009. This is super easy and nice for cookouts! Cooking time is chilling time. Ingredients:
1 small seedless watermelon, quartered and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges (red or yellow) |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 cup water |
1/2 cup tequila |
1/4 cup triple sec |
2 limes, cut into wedges |
flaked sea salt or coarse salt |
Directions:
1. Arrange watermelon in a single layer in two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes.
2. Bring sugar, water, tequila, and Triple Sec to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly.
3. Pour syrup over watermelon wedges, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
4. Remove watermelon from syrup, and arrange on a platter.
5. Squeeze limes over melon, and season with salt.
