POPSWatermelon: Three Juicy Benefits Watermelon: Best Not Chilled Ice-cold watermelon on a steamy summer day really hits the spot. But you'll be best served by keeping it on your countertop until cutting time.

And don't forget to wash your watermelon before cutting it to avoid this.

POPSTrue Balsamic Vinegar from The Perfect Pantry. I have heard that you can reduce cheaper balsamic vinegar to create a balsamic syrup. Any one tried this? One of the cutest appetizers I've seen are little cubes of watermelon, with a tiny well (made from a wee melonballer) filled with balsamic syrup.
