Why is this called watermelon honey, when it obviously doesn’t contain any honey, and isn’t produced by bees? Many people say this tastes very similar to honey, and some have even deemed it ‘vegan honey.’ Although it’s made from watermelon, it does have more of a honey-like flavor than actual watermelon flavor.
1: Cut the red part of the watermelon into chunks and blend until smooth.
2: Strain the blended watermelon through a fine mesh sieve to collect the juice. Ensure you press out as much liquid as possible.
3: Pour the juice into a large, heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a low simmer over medium heat.
4: Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The juice will begin to thicken and reduce. This process may take about 2 to 3 hours.
5: Once the juice has reduced to a thick, syrupy consistency and has a deep color, remove from heat. Your watermelon honey may be pink, red, or even a deep amber color. 
6. Let cool completely before transferring it to a clean jar.
7. Store in the refrigerator. It will thicken further as it cools.
We usually eat it all before it goes bad, but I would keep it no more than two weeks in the refrigerator.
