Watermelon Rind Preserves
When I was very small, my grandmother used to scare the daylights out of me with her
watermelon rind false teeth. I don't know how she made them, but it was probably in
preparation for making these preserves.
Dissolve the salt in 8 cups of water and pour over the rind. Let stand 5 to 6 hours. Drain, rinse and drain again. Cover with cold water and let stand 30 minutes. Drain. Sprinkle the ginger over the rind, cover with water and cook until fork-tender. Drain. To make the preserves, combine the sugar, lemon juice and 6 cups water in a large pot or Dutch oven. Boil for 5 minutes. Add the rind and boil gently for 30 minutes or until syrup thickens. Add sliced lemon and cook until lemon rind is transparent. Pack hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Adjust caps. Process 20 minutes in boiling water bath. Makes about 6 half pints. end recipe
