Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg watermelon rind
  • 1 litre boiling water
  • 500 ml water
  • 1 kg sugar

Instructions
 

  • Wash the watermelon and cut it into wedges. Remove the rind, leaving some red flesh.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove the green skin from the rind.
  • Cut into small pieces.
  • Pour boiling water over the rinds. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the water and let the rinds cool.
  • Place the sugar in a small saucepan, add 1/2 liter of water and, while stirring, bring to a boil.
  • Pour this syrup over the crusts and cook over low heat for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Return to the heat and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
  • Return it to the heat a third time and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Let it cool.
  • Check that the jam is ready. The pieces of watermelon rind should become almost transparent, a reddish-amber in color. A drop of jam should retain its shape and not spill onto the plate. If necessary, reboil the jam until it reaches the desired consistency.
