Campdaddy’s Recipe: Watermelon Jerky

Watermelons are ripening in this part of the country, so are traditionally part of Independence Day festivities. Here’s a great use for left- overs. In my opinion, it’s worthwhile to have “planned- overs” for this. Preparation is very simple for this chewy, sweet snack. Carve up uniform thicknesses of melon flesh, arrange on dehydrator trays and dry overnight. This might also be accomplished in an oven, but experiment on a small scale: there’s lots of sugar and higher temperatures could cause too much caramelization
