Down here near the Mexico border, they make a drink called agua
frescas which is fruit puree combined with ice water and sometimes,
sugar.
Thinking about fresh juices, & Susan's watermelon patch, I wonder
how frozen watermelon puree would keep. (I figger the flesh would
collapse) Everything keeps better with sugar, but....
I'm thinking frozen is probably best if you like this sort of thing.
I've tasted the various melons and berry flavored waters, but most
have too much sugar for me.
Thoughts?

We've often skinned a watermelon, sliced up the meat, then froze it in
quart containers. Take one out of the freezer, put it in the
refrigerator and let it partially thaw. It tastes good, is refreshing on
a hot day, and quenches your thirst.

Kinda of like an ice, then, huh? Sounds good to me. Wonder how it would work
for cantaloupe. We love cantaloupe.

My sister used to make melon balls and freeze them in a light syrup.
Best eaten when still slightly frozen.

Ooh, ooh! Sprinkle among the melon balls some frozen blueberries.
then some heavy syrups - cane, and blueberry. Then cover with vodka.
The fruit and syrups will freeze, the vodka won't. Makes a wonderful
"sauce" when all else is only partially defrosted.

Great idea George. I'm going to put some in the freezer. I was also
thinking about making watermelon sorbet.
