Candied Watermelon

This is an unbelievably simple, delicious treat. Watermelon is starting to fill the stores and as much as you might enjoy it fresh and juicy this time of year… well, you haven’t experienced watermelon like this before. It’s pretty much the only reason I keep my dehydrator around!
