Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups diced seedless watermelon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Start by dicing the watermelon into small cubes. You can remove the rind if you prefer, but it's not necessary.
  • In a large pot, combine the watermelon, sugar, and lime juice. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the watermelon is translucent and the liquid has thickened to a syrupy consistency.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove any foam that forms on the surface of the mixture.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and let the candy cool to room temperature.
  • Once cooled, transfer the candy to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
