Misc.

Hi Bill;
Here's one I found by doing a search on the net.
Watermelon Rind Preserves
Ingredients: XXD
1-1/2 qts. Prepared watermelon rind (about 6 cups)
4 T Salt
1 T Ground ginger
4 C Sugar
1/4 C Fresh lemon juice
1/2 C Thinly sliced lemon (about 1 medium lemon)
Directions:
Preparing the rind: Trim the green skin and pink flesh from the rind. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Dissolve the salt in 8 cups of water and pour over the rind. Let stand 5 to 6 hours. Drain, rinse and drain again. Cover with cold water and let stand 30 minutes. Drain. Sprinkle the ginger over the rind; cover with water and cook until fork-tender. Drain.

Making the preserves: Combine the sugar, lemon juice and 6 cups water in a large pot or Dutch oven. Boil for 5 minutes. Add the rind and boil gently for 30 minutes or until syrup thickens. Add sliced lemon and cook until the rind is transparent. Pack hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Adjust caps. Process 20 minutes in boiling water bath. Makes about 6 half pints.
