• Rind of 1 medium melon

Directions:

Remove outside rind and trim, leaving enough of the red to look attractive. Cut into strips or chunks and cook in salted water for 15-20 minutes.

Make syrup as follows: Boil all ingredients together for 3 minutes. Add drained rinds. Cook until rinds are moderately soft, 10-15 minutes, depending on size of pieces. Place in sterile jars and seal.
