What is Watermelon rind jam syrup?
Watermelon rind jam syrup is the sweet liquid from a preserve made by simmering watermelon rind with sugar. In Turkish home cooking, the syrup can be diluted into a sherbet, making use of the fragrant, tender rind rather than letting it go to waste.
It has a concentrated sugary taste and is usually mixed with cold water before serving, especially as a refreshing summer drink or a sweet offering to guests. The syrup is mostly carbohydrate from sugar, with only a little fibre and small amounts of nutrients from the rind. For a lighter drink, use more water and pour a modest glass; it also pairs well with a simple savoury snack.
