      There are two things I always salt - tomatoes & watermelon.

      SALT ALWAYS ON WATERMELONS, Cantaloupe, and Honeydew melon’s. I’ve been known to throw away an entire watermelon because it was Miley.

      A lil salt sometimes especially when it's not very sweet. Salt makes the sugar stand out so if it's not the best melon... salt it is. My mom put black pepper on her cantaloupe.

    As a child I ate it with salt but as an adult I don't use salt. Thank you for this video. I grow watermelon and I have always hated the waste of good melon because I just couldn't seem to eat it all. Can't wait to do this this summer. I dehydrate so many things but never thought I could dehydrate watermelon. Just a note. I have used unbleached muslem cloth cut to fit my trays. Works great and I can wash them. Just make sure you wash and dry the material before you cut to size because they will shrink.

    A Mexican seasoning named Tajin is amazing on watermelon. It's a mixture of salt, dehydrated lime juice and ground chili.

    Salt! I do mine slightly different: First, PEEL the dark green layer from the whole watermelon before slicing; then slice the meaty part as you like - but my main focus here is the rind: Without the outer dark green layer, slice the pith (white part) into bite-sized or apple pie apple-sized slices, and boil until soft (~30-45 min.) [Trust me on this, the dark green will never soften, so you need to peel it!] Cool it down before storing in ziplocks in the freezer or using straight away. This rind can be used as a mock-apple pie (watermelon rind pie), or as a vegetable in a stir-fry. I use them both ways, and they're delicious!
    I store my dehydrated slices in the fridge; I find that they're very sticky otherwise, but the fridge keeps them crisp - just take out portions, chilled.

    3:20 after the initial cut through half of the watermelon, I like to lay it flat on the pink flash and then cut another nice flat surface to rest it on - so that the watermelon isn’t wobbly as you’re cutting it

    Peeling watermelon efficiently: cut both ends first, so that watermelon can stand still. In vertical position, peel it from top to bottom, and around. After that, you could cut and slice the way you want without wasting any.

  • @barbarawoodling7778
    @barbarawoodling7778 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Salt vs no salt.......depends on the watermelon....if it’s GOOD and SWEET.... no salt. I pick my watermelons by knocking on them and listening to the sound....the deeper the sound the more ripe (or over ripe) it is. That was the way I was taught when I was young.....and I don’t care if people think I am weird when “listening” to watermelon.
    So glad I found this video, I will have to try this next year during watermelon season

    I have been dehydrating for a decade. I have been doing alot of food preservation lately, dehydrating, freezing, canning, and I was driving just yesterday thinking about watermelon and how that it was one of the few things I have never preserved. This morning, out of nowhere this video popped up!! My youngest daughter (who will be 19 in 2 weeks. . .YIKES I'm getting old!) and my dad are HUGE watermelon lovers. Just a month ago they sat on the patio and ate a GIANT one just the two of them in a few hours! Isn't the first time or even the 10th time they did that and you would think the inevitable stomach ache that follows would have deterred them again, but it didn't. And I'm sure they will do it again! You would think that a 76 year old man would know better by now🤣 This is a PERFECT treat for them. I will give it a try this week. Thanks for the video!

      I'll tell you something ,, watermelon is full of water and some fiber, my doctor suggested I drink watermelon juice three times a day just for the fact sometimes we don't drink enough water during the day...but if a person has diabetes they have to be careful... Watermelon in my book is the best part of summer. Enjoy. And God Bless

    Love salt. It makes it sweeter somehow!

    I tried drying watermelon last summer. Even though we loved the watermelon fresh no one in my family wanted to eat the dried.

      Was it tacky or could you get it crisp? I want to powders one for drinks

      @@DebRoo11 I stopped when it was still a little tacky, but you can probably go longer for crisp

    While conditioning my jerky the it started to stick together around a week plus in. Should I pop it back in longer or is that normal for watermelons high sugar content? no mold but some particles of melon sugar accumulated on the bottom

      Sugar does that - you can ALWAYS pop it back in to dry more.

    If my watermelon has alot of black seeds, can I still dehydrate them and eat them with the seeds or do I have to pick them out first and how long will these last vacuum sealed

      You can pick the seeds out after if they don't fall out on their own.

    We as kids did salt on watermelons but as adult the only reason we don't it if the the watermelon is sweet enough we don't need salt to enhance the taste although those are few and far between so we keep the shaker close by.
    Funny thing the grandkids don't use salt in the watermelon..lol
