How to Make Waatlemoen Konfyt / Watermelon Preserve
Making a South African childhood favourite.
What do you do when you have a ton of watermelon and you want to make use of as much of the watermelon as possible? You made watermelon preserve! In Afrikaans it is known as waatlemoen konfyt and I can remember eating it as a kid in South Africa.
Ingredients:
2kg (4lb) bite-sized pieces of watermelon rind, without the skin
2 Tbsp bicarb/baking soda
3L (3 quarts) water for soaking rinds
2L (2 quarts) water for syrup
Extra water for second soak
6 cups sugar
40ml (2 2/3 Tbsp) lemon juice OR 1/2 tsp citric acid
1/4 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/4 - 1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)
Method:
1. Add rind pieces to 3 litres of water and add the bicarb/baking soda. Leave rind to soak for at least 12 hours
2. After soaking, remove rind, rinse and soak in fresh water for another 2 hours
3. Rinse rind, put it in a pot of hot water and boil until rinds are just tender
4. While rind is boiling, prepare syrup in a separate pot
5. Add sugar, lemon juice and spices to 2 litre of water
6. Put on low heat and stir until sugar has dissolved
7. Bring syrup mixture to the boil
8. Once rind is tender, drain, and add syrup
9. Boil rind rapidly in syrup until the pieces are tender and translucent
10. Can the rind immediately.

Sometimes this is called a “queso flameado” but queso flameado is usually lit on fire with a shot of tequila - we’re not doing that today. We’re making a simple choriqueso the way we used to experience it here in
South Texas on the border. Sometimes this is made with rajas, sometimes with mushrooms or other chile pepper and onion toppings, but today we’re keeping it simple.
A lot of my barbecue passion and experience came from my father and grandfather, but the choriqueso and cabrito experience came from my father in law – Frank Nieto!
Today we’re cooking over the fire on the ProPit RPG Grill but you can cook this on the stove top or in the oven, whatever works best for you. All you need for this recipe is two packages of Chorizo de San Manuel, our favorite chorizo, and two packs of queso oaxaca.
This recipe is so, so easy to make. All we have to do is cook the chorizo in the pan, add the grated cheese, and then pull yourself a big ol delicious choriqueso taco. You can top this with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or anything else you like. Let’s fire it up and cook some choriqueso!
