Answer 2

My Dad loved watermelon rind preserves. I make them sometimes like my Mom did, really easy. There both gone now, so making this always makes me smile.

Remove the green outer peel from watermelon, leave a bit of the red flesh if desired. Cut into bite sized pieces.
Place rind in a heavy sauce pan and cover with granulated sugar. I would say 1 cup sugar for every 3 cups rind pieces.Let sit overnight or at least several hours to draw the juices. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring to dissolve any remaining granules of sugar. Turn heat down to low and simmer, uncovered, until the rind is sort of translucent and syrup is slightly thickened,stirring occasionally. Syrup with thicken further as it cools. At this point I add a pinch of salt and a little vanilla because I think it adds interest. Place in a glass jar and store in the fridge. Great on hot biscuits!
