Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

rind from a medium watermelon, green trimmed in 1in pieces
3/4 c salt
3 qt water
5 c sugar
3 c vinegar
2 Tbsp whole cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
1 Tbsp allspice, whole
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, sliced
1 lemon, sliced and seeded
5 drops of red food coloring

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan with a lid, place rinds, water, and salt. Boil, then reduce heat to low boil. Cook covered for 30 minutes.
  • 2. Turn heat off. Let sit, covered, for an additional 30 minutes.
  • 3. Drain. Fill pot with sugar, vinegar, spices, ginger, and lemon. Some like to add spices in a cheesecloth, I like to toss them in and dig them out later. I think I get a more evenly spiced watermelon. Allow to sit for one hour, covered on stove, no heat.
  • 4. Bring to boil, then lower heat. Cook covered for 20 minutes. Strain, and reserve syrup, and return syrup to pot to low boil for 10 minutes.
  • 5. Separate rinds from spices, lemon, and ginger. Take rinds and fill jars a little over half way.
  • 6. About the last minute of low boiling syrup, add about 5 drops of red food coloring (optional).
  • 7. Ladle syrup into jars, leaving about 1/2in gap from top.
  • 8. Seal with two part lids and can using the water bath process.

This was so easy to make. I used a mandoline to slice the watermelon rinds and it worked perfectly.
