| 1/4 | each | watermelon | ripe |
| 2/3 | cup | sugar | |
| 1/2 | cup | cornstarch | |
| 1 | teaspoon | vanilla extract | |
| 2 | tablespoons | pistachio nuts | blanched, chopped |
| 1/2 | ounce | chocolate (semi-sweet) | semi-sweet, coarsely grated |
| 3 | tablespoons | candied citron | rinsed and chopped |

SPOON THE FLESH AWAY from the rind of the melon into a large bowl.
Remove seeds and liquefy in food processor or blender.
Combine sugar and cornstarch in a 3-quart non-reactive saucepan and add watermelon juice gradually, whisking it in.
Place over low heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a flat-edged wooden spatula.
At the boil, continue cooking about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, over lowest heat.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and pour into a mixing bowl.
Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
After the gelo has cooled, stir in the remaining ingredients, except the cinnamon.
Pour into a glass serving bowl and chill.
To serve the gelo, spoon into dessert bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon at the table.
