Ingredients

½ watermelon fresh whole watermelon halved
2 tablespoon agar agar powder
1¼ cup water
½ cup sugar optional

Instructions

Start by removing the flesh of the watermelon and blending it to create juice. Ensure there are no seeds in the juice.
Pour the watermelon juice through a sieve to extract the fresh juice, leaving behind any pulp or solids.
In a large pot, combine the watermelon juice, agar agar powder, sugar / natural sweetener (if using), and water. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and pour it into the empty watermelon shell. This adds a fun and unique touch to the presentation of your jelly.
Refrigerate the jelly for 3 to 4 hours, allowing it to set completely.
Once set, slice the jelly into watermelon-shaped pieces, resembling real watermelon slices.
