The recipe is taken from the book "FOODBALL. Traditions. Recipes. Street food. A culinary journey through 11 football capitals of Russia. Look and try!" Eduard Panin, president of the "Association of clubs, restaurants, bars and cafes of Volgograd": "In the middle of summer in the Volgograd region you can identify by the watermelon stalls that appear. Everyone loves the sweet berry, and the fame of Volgograd watermelons extends far beyond the region. Nardek - watermelon honey - has been known since the time of Empress Elizabeth. In those days, it was prepared by evaporation in open, summer stoves or adobes. The production of watermelon honey was most widespread in Tsaritsyn (modern Volgograd), Sarepta, as well as in the Lower Volga region and on the Don. Sarepta gingerbread was made on the basis of nardek . The modern recipe is practically no different from the old method, except that it takes a little less time to prepare honey. Watermelon honey preserves all the useful substances contained in fresh watermelon. Today, modern chefs invent a variety of dishes using watermelon, although it is an independent seasonal product and an excellent antidepressant! I always look forward to this time when you can buy a couple of ripe watermelons at the market. When you cut them, you hear this characteristic sound of the bursting rind of a ripe watermelon, the juicy crispy pulp pleases the eye with its bright red color, and the taste buds explode with this “sugar” taste. These days, the watermelon aroma of freshness spreads throughout the house - everyone wants to eat watermelons until next summer , with a reserve.
