    List of Ingredients




    OLD SOUTHERN WATERMLEON RIND PRESERVES

    6 CUPS WATERMELON RIND, DICED
    4 1/2 CUP SUGAR
    1 LEMON, SLICED THINLY, THEN SEEDED
    1 TSP ALLSPICE ( OPTIONAL)

    PEEL GREEN SKIN OFF THE WATERMELON, BUT LEAVE A LITTLE OF THE RED PULP ON RIND.
    CUT INTO 1 INCH SLICE, THEN SLICE INTO 1 INCH CUBES.
    PLACE RIND IN A LARGE POT AND COVER WITH THE SUGAR.
    ( MISS MINNIE ALWAYS SAID TO COVER IT UNTIL THE FRUIT DOESN'T SHOW.) Advertisement:

    COVER WITH PLASTIC WRAP; REFRIGERATE OVERNIGHT. THIS DRAWS OUT THE JUICES.
    PLACE POT ON STOVE AND ADD LEMON SLICES AND ALLSPICE, IF DESIRED.
    BOIL WHOLE MIXTURE UNTIL RIND IS CLEAR, ABOUT 2 HOURS.
    PACK INTO CLEAN HOT JARS. WIPE RIMS AND SCREW ON LIDS.
    PROCESS 10 MINUTES IN BOILING WATER DEEP ENOUGH TO COVER LIDS BY AT LEAST
    1 INCH.
    SERVE THE PRESERVED ON BUTTERED TOAST, IF DESIRED.

    AFTER CUTTING WATERMELON, SAVE THE RIND IN THE REFRIGERATOR UNTIL YOU ARE
    READY TO PREPARE THE PRESERVES.
