Which of the following statements is true?
Watermelon berries are a seasonal wild berry. They grow all around Alaska in areas that are mostly cool, shady, and damp along the coast in southeast Alaska north to the central Yukon River area. They are often found at Manley Hot Springs and in moist, wooded areas of interior Alaska. The berries are grape-sized, water-packed, seed filled treats, and taste lightly of watermelon. These berries are most often found by people in late July/early August on camping trips or taking hikes.
The watermelon berry is eaten in many of the same ways as any other wild berry. They can be used to make syrups, jellies, and jams. They can be baked directly into breads or wild berry muffins. If enough berries are harvested, strained berry juice can be made. Whenever one has obtained juice from the berries, it can be frozen and then made into tasty fruit pops. Additionally, to add a nice texture to an edible salad, watermelon berries can serve as a suitable ingredient along with a few other succulent salad ingredients.
