Ingredients

  • 1 oblong seedless watermelon (about 14 pounds)

Directions

  1. Cut top third off watermelon; trim bottom
    just enough to make a flat surface. Scoop

  2. Working in batches, puree
    watermelon in a food processor. Strain
    through a fine sieve; discard solids.
    (You should have about 9 cups juice.)
