Good with fried chicken or spicy foods
Ingredients:
2 cups watermelon rind, dark-green skin removed and
white part cut in 1/3-inch dice salt
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon zest, finely grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch each cinnamon and cloves
2 cups watermelon meat, seeds removed and cut into
1/2-inch dice
Instructions:
Mix rind with 2 1/2 cups water and 2 tablespoons salt.
Let stand covered at room temperature overnight. Drain
and rinse well.
In medium saucepan, combine sugar with 3/4 cup water, 2
teaspoons salt, the lemon zest and juice, cinnamon and
cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, add the rind
and cook gently for about 40 minutes or until the rind is
