Remove ads
The gelo di melone or mellone (Sicilian: gelu di muluni), also known as gelo d'anguria, is a typical Sicilian jelly dessert consisting of a watermelon pudding. Traditionally prepared on Ferragosto,[1][2] it is also popular for the Saint Rosalia celebrations in Palermo.[3]
Its basic ingredients are watermelon pulp, sugar (or honey) and starch, while pistachios, candied fruit, cinnamon and jasmine water are often added.[4][5] It is commonly, although mistakenly, considered an inheritance of Arab influence dating to the Muslim period.[4][6]
