How to make watermelon rind pickles:

Select a melon with a thick rind. Remove outer green skin and pink flesh; use only the greenish white parts of rind, cut in 1-inch cubes. Combine water and lime. Add cubed rind and soak overnight in refrigerator. Drain and rinse cubes in cold water several times, then cover with cold water and boil for 30 minutes. Drain.

Combine vinegar, sugar and spices; cover cubes with mixture. Boil slowly until cubes look clear (about 1 hour). Be sure cubes are covered with syrup throughout cooking. Add water if necessary. Pack in hot, sterilized jars. Cover with syrup, leaving 1/4 inch from top. Seal and process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes. Makes 7 pints.
