Like all melons, watermelon will not freeze for satisfactory eating as though you'd just harvested it -- too watery and not enough substance to maintain its shape and texture through freezing.

But I freeze both cantaloupes and watermelons cut into chunks and use them to make winter smoothies with whatever other fruit I can find, good with bananas and canned pineapple. They certainly add a delicious touch of summer that way to your winter eating!

Bad idea.

Taste was there, but texture was way, way, crazy way off.

In a bad way.

I should have either eaten it frozen like a popsicle or blended them like anney said.

Still if you want to try it I have linked the approved instructions for to do it below. Some care required because it is so low acid.

PS: Whatever you do don't try dehydrating it. It grows so much bacteria in the time it takes to dry it that it can make you sick as a dog!!

The key to eating it, as stated above, is to do so in a still partially frozen state. It's slimy and pretty bad when thawed. Much better frozen.

You can also make a number of watermelon based goodies, sorbet and popsicles/fruit bars out of it.

Believe it or not, watermelon and other melons are actually pretty good when dehydrated, although it takes a LONG time and the yield, for obvious reasons, is very small compared with what you start with.
