Watermelon Jam!

Watermelon is an irresistable fruit. Though I like having it raw, I thought of trying this recipe from here.

Ingredients:
Watermelon - 2 lbs (without seeds and rind)
Sugar - 3 tablespoons
Cinnamon - 2 pinches
Lime juice - from half a slice

Method:
Cut the watermelon into small chunks.
Mix cinnamon with sugar.
Simmer the fruit, sugar mixture and lime juice.
No need to add water (because water in the melon is enough).
Keep stirring when the moisture thickens.
Mash the chunks using the ladle.
When it comes to jam consistency, remove from heat.
Use a hand blender or a regular blender to grind a desired consistency.
Return to heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Let it cool and keep it in refrigerator.

I'm sending this recipe to the AFAM: Melon event hosted by Ashwini.
