WATERMELON LIMEADE

This recipe can be made with fresh orange or lemon juice. These are tangy substitutes for the lime juice.
Makes 3 cups
Chill 2 hours
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups of seedless watermelon cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
6 large strawberries, cut in half
1/2 cup lime juice
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Garnish with lime slices
#1. Combine sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool. This is that simple syrup recipe I have given to you before. It will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks, if made ahead.
#2. Puree watermelon, strawberry, and lime juice in food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine strainer, pressing lightly and discard solids.
#3. Combine watermelon puree with kosher salt and reserved syrup. Chill thoroughly and serve over ice in a cold glass.
Enjoy!
