This delicious pickled watermelon rinds recipe is made with spices, sugar, and vinegar.

Prep Time 24 hours and 40 minutes

Difficulty Level: Low

Ingredients for Sweet Pickled Watermelons:

Watermelon rinds - from 1/2 watermelon (chopped and peeled)

Salt - 3 tbsp.

Sugar - 1 cup

5% white vinegar - 1 cup

Cinnamon stick - 1

Pickling spice - 2 tsp.

Lemon - 1/2 (thinly sliced)

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.
