Watermelon Rind Relish
Jan Smith
For this recipe, you'll need the rind of a five-pound melon. Use the white inner rind, not the outer green part, which might have been waxed. Shred the rind with the large holes of a box grater, or cut it into chunks and shred it in a food processor. Serve the relish with ham or fish, or stir a little into steamed carrots.
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add rind; cook 3 minutes. Drain well.
Step 2
Combine sugar and remaining ingredients in pan; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in watermelon rind; simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently. Cool; pour relish into airtight containers.
Step 3
Note: Refrigerate Watermelon Rind Relish in airtight containers up to two months.
