We had good friends come over and visit us last week. They called while we were at a local fruit/vegetable market. I had 1/4 of a watermelon and Joseph immediately grabbed a delicious black cherry pie. We had been wanting to buy watermelon but we are just not used to paying more than 6 bucks for a watermelon. I remember last summer we bought one for $15, that was all we ate for two days. I wasn’t sure whether to make watermelon sorbet or my usual watermelonade. Joseph convinced me to make the watermelonade because it would be an excuse to try out my new vintage looking ceramic jug. I totally agreed and started to make the delcious drink.
