Texasroses Marlin, TX July 16, 2009 03:18 PM Post #6827412 Usually a food with a high water content like watermelon does not can well. May I suggest that you juice your watermelon (cut it in pieces, remove any seeds, and put into a blender or food processor) and freeze it. That way you can have it to flavor drinks all year 'round. cando1 Ozone, AR (Zone 6a) July 17, 2009 03:19 AM Post #6829734 Thats what i've heard also, so i never tried it.
