Watermelon Gin Punch

Watermelon Gin Punch



One-half small round seedless watermelon (about 3-1/2 lb.), peeled and cut into large chunks

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, strained

1/2 cup simple syrup

8 sprigs fresh mint; more for garnish

2 cups gin





Working in batches if necessary, purée the watermelon in a blender or food processor and press the purée through a strainer. You’ll need about 4 cups of juice—it’s fine if there’s some pulp in the juice. Chill.

Desserts, Etc was a hit at the debut of the American Market Place at the National Harbor.

I'm sending a great big THANK YOU to all of you who came out to support me Saturday 5/31 at the National Harbor's American Market Place. To say the least Desserts, Etc was a big hit with the shoppers. They enjoyed my products so much that I was sold out by 1:00pm.

Many of you were unable to attend the Market Place on Saturday but you will have many more Saturday's to attend. There are some wonderful vendors there. From jewlery makers to florist, they will have something great for you to purchase. The Children's Museum also had excellent storytelling performances. They will perform each Saturday at the Market Place. This Saturday there will also be a Yacht Show.

Thank you to everyone who assited in the process. Beverly for working the assembly line, Mike T. who got up at 530 on a Saturday morning to help me get ready for set up and did not leave until everything was complete and in place, Tia for always assisting in whatever I ask, and to all the rest of you who sen good luck messages and called to wish me luck. I apologize to those of you who arrived after everything was gone (especially the Sweet Potato Brownies). I promise to have more next Saturday. I will also introduce my Homemade Cinnamon Rolls next Saturday (yum)

Once again, thank you! Words can never express the gratitude I feel for your continued support. I know there is a pot of gold at the end of my rainbow. :)

Sincerely,

Anita

Desserts, Etc at the American Market Place at the New National Harbor-Fort Washington, MD.

Desserts, Etc will be a participant at the American Market Place located at the new National Harbor in Fort Washington, MD beginning THIS SATURDAY May 31-October 18, 9am-2pm.

I am really excited about this new opportunity! I will be selling many of my old favorites such as the Butter Pecan Tarts, but I will also have some new items that I know you will enjoy like the Sweet Potato Brownies.

I just want to take the time to thank all of you for your encouragement and support throughout the years. Desserts, Etc would have never made it this far without you.

The National Harbor is going to give Desserts, Etc much more exposure. Desserts, Etc has a lot planned for 2008 and even more for 2009.

I'm glad that each and every one of you decided to be a part of it!
