Yield Makes 2 pint-size jars and one 1/2-pint-size jar

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small yellow or red watermelon (about 4 pounds), quartered
1 1/2 cups rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
2 Thai chiles, thinly sliced crosswise
1 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Cut and scrape flesh from watermelon rind; reserve for another use. Cut away outer green skin from rind; discard. Cut rind into 1-inch pieces. (You should have about 9 cups.)
  • Bring rind, vinegar, sugar, water, ginger, peppercorns, chiles, and salt to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until rind is translucent and tender and liquid is syrupy, about 55 minutes. Divide mixture among 2 pint-size and one 1/2-pint-size sterilized glass jars; refrigerate.
