Watermelon Rind Relish

This recipe uses the white (not the green outside) rind of a 5 lb melon. I love this recipe as it allows you to use more of the melon. I love to use every little bit

3 quarts water
6 cups shredded watermelon rind
1 cup sugar
1 cup cider vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
Preparation
Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add rind; cook 3 minutes. Drain well.

Combine sugar and remaining ingredients in pan; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in watermelon rind; simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently. Cool; pour relish into airtight containers.

Note: Refrigerate Watermelon Rind Relish in airtight containers up to two months.
