The proposed recipe is a super option for a sweet tooth. It is very tasty to drink tea with this jelly. You can also spread on biscuits, smear cakes, layer desserts. Cooking will not take much time and effort, even an inexperienced hostess will cope. 

1. The watermelon is thoroughly washed under running water, wiped with a towel. Cut it into slices, as usual.

2. And now we peel the crusts, cut them off together with the white part. Only the red pulp is needed. You can also cook various goodies from the crusts, so you should not throw them away.

3. We extract all the bones from the pulp. And now you need to chop the pulp. The easiest way to do this is with a blender. If there is no blender, then you can cut the watermelon pulp into small cubes, and then grind them through a sieve.

4. Since watermelon is very juicy, it immediately gives a lot of liquid. We pour a glass of juice, filter it through a sieve or through gauze. Pour gelatin into the juice, let it swell.

5. We transfer the main watermelon mass into a saucepan, pour sugar into it. We send it to the fire. Bring the mass to a boil.

6. As soon as the sugar crystals dissolve, turn off the fire. Pour the swollen gelatin into the pan and mix well again.

7. At this stage, add vanilla. Instead of vanillin, you can use citric acid or mint, here you need to be guided by your taste impressions.

8. We lay out watermelon jelly in jars, seal the lids hermetically. Watermelon jelly is perfectly stored in a cool place.

Have a nice tasting!
