WATERMELON RIND JAM
INGREDIENTS
Rind from 2 slices of watermelon, chopped
2 cups water
3 cups sugar
7-8 cloves
3-4 pieces lemon salt (citric acid)
Red lohusa sugar (optional, if you want it to be red)
PREPARATION:
Peel the green outer part of the watermelon rind very thinly (I used a vegetable peeler for this), then chop it as you like — I diced it into squares. Place the watermelon rinds into a pressure cooker, add enough water to cover them, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the softened rinds from the water and transfer them to another pot. Add the sugar, water and cloves, and boil for 30-35 minutes until the rinds become translucent. Add the citric acid just before removing from the heat, then transfer to jars.
