Watermelon Rind Pickles

Step by stepInstructions

1. Toss the rind with the salt and water and soak overnight. Drain and rinse well.
2. Simmer the rind in fresh water for 15 minutes until just tender. Drain.
3. Combine the sugar, vinegar, lemon, cloves, cinnamon, and allspice in a pot. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
4. Add the rind and simmer 30 minutes until translucent.
5. Pack the rind into sterilized jars and cover with the hot syrup. Seal and refrigerate; the pickles are best after a week.
