Watermelon Pudding or Sauce

Watermelon Pudding or Sauce was pinched from <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/watermelon-pudding-or-sauce-67676" target="_blank">www.food.com.</a>

"A unique, good tasting, somewhat exotic dessert. Called "Gelo di Melone" if you use all the ingredients, a summer treat in Sicily. In making this the first time, I imagined soaking sliced sponge layers to make a true watermelon cake; or using this instead of raspberry jam in a trifle. This recipe is paraphrased (with apologies) from Nick Malgieri's book: Great Italian Desserts...."

INGREDIENTS
5 cups fresh watermelon juice, from about 3 lbs. of watermelon (including foam)
2⁄3 cup sugar
1⁄2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons blanched pistachios, coarsely chopped (optional)
1⁄2 ounce semisweet chocolate, coarsely grated (about 2 tbs) (optional)
3 tablespoons candied citron peel, rinsed and chopped (optional)
