watermelon
last night we divvied up our weekly box o' produce with our friends, 
and we were the lucky winners of a rather large watermelon. as much as i like to cook, i must admit my exposure to watermelon has been limited to parties i used to go to in college, where i was the king of filling it full of vodka (the secret is to use a syringe, and to be drunk). i have a feeling this recipe won't work for the 9 months pregnant wife. any thoughts? leave me a comment below with any great ideas. . . .

How about a relish/jam (from epicurean):
Ingredients:
4 quarts diced red part of watermelon
5 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vinegar
2 slices lemon
1 stick cinnamon
1 teaspoon whole cloves
Directions:
Use only red meat of watermelon. Place in colander, and with hands squeeze out as much juice as possible. Then let drain for at least an hour. Combine melon with sugar, salt, vinegar, and lemon in large kettle. Add the spices tied in a small bag. Cook rapidly for 50 to 60 minutes, until thickened, stirring occasionally. Fill hot sterilized jars and seal.
Makes four half-pints.
