Good night everybody!
It turns out that this nardek is a delicious thing!
The other day we bought a luxurious-looking watermelon, cut it - not sweet.
After all, they ate the middle, and the rest is so sorry to throw away! More than a half...
I got into the books, dug up the recipe for watermelon honey (it sounds delicious), and cooked it out of what was left.
Qween, please excuse me, did not cook exactly according to your recipe!
But I got here, since the recipe already exists.
I squeezed the juice, strained it, everything was right, then I cooked it without a lid in an ordinary wide saucepan.
The juice was 1400 g. The honey was 80 g. It took 4.5 hours on the stove at 80 degrees.
Look what a beauty! The color was reproduced accurately.
Behaves exactly like honey - slowly and for a long time drips from a spoon.
The taste is pleasantly sour, because the watermelon was unsweetened.
In general, I liked it
Of course, making such a small portion is quite expensive, but I'm glad I tried it. At least if I come across unsweetened watermelon again, I will know what to do with it.
And I'll do a little bit more, if I may

During diets, one teaspoon can be added to any beverage as a sweetener. Watermelon honey is sweet, but not high in calories, so it will not affect your figure in any way, unless, of course, you eat it in kilograms.

A spoonful of the resulting mixture is recommended to slowly dissolve in the mouth. To improve stomach function, you can use nardek instead of sugar.

But, as already mentioned, you can eat nardek just for the sake of pleasure. Some housewives serve it as a dessert for tea, add it as a filling in cookies, pies, cheesecakes or other pastries, and also make candied watermelon from it.

Whoever did not succeed - you simply did not cook, did not evaporate the water. I also doubted that at least something would remain in the saucepan. Left. 80 grams of fragrant honey.
Thanks for attention!
