More Fruit Goodness

Watermelon Salsa
Last weeks' watermelon was enormous. And after having two sharing parties with our neighbors and our family, we still had 1/4 watermelon left. Casey has sent the e-mail with a watermelon salsa recipe and that sounded pretty great. I didn't use that recipe, however, but I liked the idea. I prepped everything we had in our kitchen as if I were making regular salsa, substituting watermelon in place of tomatoes.


I diced and seeded the remaining watermelon and added onion, jalapeno, and cilantro to taste. Excellent.

Tennessee Peach
We also wanted to use a few peaches that were perfectly ripe. We found this recipe for a Tennessee Peach online. As with most recipes, we used it more as a jumping off point rather than a strict set of directions.

Ingredients:

3-4 fresh peaches
1 fresh lime
3 shots of whiskey
1-2 tbsp. simple sugar syrup
ice

Directions:

Peel peaches and puree in a blender. Transfer to a separate bowl and rinse blender.
Combine 5 oz. peach puree, 3 shots whiskey, juice of one lime, and one glass of ice.
Add simple syrup to taste (we used brown sugar syrup, which was AWESOME!)
Makes two servings.
