Spicy, Savory & Sweet Watermelon Rind Pickles

Makes 4 quarts

• 12cups watermelon rinds prepared as in step 1 below
• 3cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2cups apple cider vinegar
• 1/2cup balsamic vinegar
• 1cup white vinegar
• 4tablespoons mixed pickling spice
• 1tablespoon whole black peppercorns
• 12whole cloves
• 8thin slices of fresh ginger cut into strips about 2-inches long by 1-inch wide
• 3cinnamon sticks, broken into 1-inch pieces
• 2teaspoons whole allspice

1. Wash and cut away all green parts of the rinds, Cut away any red as well. Cut into cubes 1-inch by 1-inch pieces or with a cute flower mini cutter (that is what I use when I gift these).
2. Place cut rind pieces in a large stock pot filled with enough water to cover rinds and cook over high heat until boiling. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until rinds are fork tender or for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
3. While the rinds cook, in a medium large sauce pan, add in all the other ingredients and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to pickling broth to slightly cool.
4. Place the cooked rinds in a large container that comes with tight filling lid. Pour the pickling broth over to completely cover and allow to completely cool. Place in the refrigerator and use as wanted. This will keep well for 3-4 months.
