Рецепт Creamy Strawberry Watermelon Pie
Watermelon
is thought to have originated in southern Africa, where you find it growing
wild. You can see where it gets its name. The flesh of this tasty fruit is over
90% water.
Native
to Africa, it was a valuable and portable source of water for desert situations
and when natural water supplies were contaminated. Watermelons were cultivated
in Egypt and India as far back as 2500 B.C. as evidenced in ancient
hieroglyphics.
Today,
farmers in approximately 44 states in the US grow watermelon commercially.
Texas, Georgia, Florida, California and Arizona are the US's largest watermelon
producers. This now common watermelon is often large enough that groceries
often sell half or quarter melons. Some smaller, spherical varieties of watermelon,
both red and yellow fleshed, are sometimes called "icebox melons".
The
most common usage of watermelon is to chill the melon and slice or cut into
cubes for a quick and easy cold snack or dessert.
For those with artistic flair watermelon is a
great choice for making edible sculptures.
Our
creamy strawberry watermelon pie is simple to make. No oven needed. This
delightful dessert is refreshing. It does not last long.
