Ingredients for Sweet Pickled Watermelons:
Method of preparing the Sweet Pickled Watermelons:
-
Peel the green skin and chop up the rinds (preferably leave some watermelon flesh on it).
-
In a bowl, dissolve the salt in 3 cups water. Throw in the rinds and leave for 24 hours in the refrigerator. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
-
In a deep pan, boil 4 cups water with the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, spices, and lemon. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the rinds and simmer for about 30 minutes, until tender and translucent.
-
Remove from the heat. Cool completely (this takes about 1 hour), stirring occasionally.
-
Put only the rinds into jars, leaving a 1/4 inch gap below the lid. Then cover with the liquid. Tighten the lids, cure in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, and let cool.
Chef's Tip:
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Serve cold.
