A delicious twist on the popular summer cocktail. This version includes watermelon puree which gives it a light, slightly sweet flavor.
20 mint leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
crushed ice
3/4 cup light rum
6 ounces seedless watermelon, pureed
In the bottom of a large shaker, muddle the mint, sugar and half the lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice. Add the rum, watermelon and the remaining lime juice. Shake well.
Strain the mojitos into old fashioned glasses over ice and serve.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

Make sure to use flavorful watermelon. I made this twice since the first time the watermelon just wasn't all that tasty. The second watermelon was much better and made for a wonderful drink. Great for summertime pool parties or sitting on the patio enjoying a sunset.
