Directions:
Peel the skin and half of the white from the watermelon rind. Leave a good half-inch red on the pieces. Cut the melon into chunks. Fill the jars with the above ingredients. Process for 5 minutes. That means don't start counting until water comes to a boil. (Processing is submerging the jars with the lids on in boiling water to seal.

Personal Notes:
