- 1/2 c. salt
- 6 c. water
- 1Â 1/2 c. sugar

Инструкции
- Pare the watermelon rind, and remove any pink flesh. Cut the rind into pcs 1 inch square, or possibly into circles 1 inch in diameter, and 1/2 inch thick. Mix the salt and water in a large bowl, and add in the rind. Let stand overnight. Drain thoroughly and rinse. Drain again. Place in a preserving kettle, cover with cool water, and cook, about 30 min, till the rind becomes tender and translucent/soft, but is still hard. Drain once more. Place the sugar, vinegar, and lemon in the kettle. Tie the spices in a cheesecloth bag with white thread and add in. Bring to a boil, then cook 2 min. Add in the rind, and cook, uncovered, over medium heat, for 15 min after it comes to a boil. Remove the rind with a slotted spoon and place in warm, sterilized jars. Boil the syrup 5 min longer, remove the spice bag, and pour the syrup over the rind to overflowing.
- Seal at once. This makes 2 pints. If a sweeter pickle is preferred, increase sugar to 2 c..
- [[Spike would like to know why the thread tying the cheesecloth has to be white.]
