Instructions

  1. 1 Bring water and salt to a boil in a large, enameled stockpot over high heat. Add watermelon rinds; return to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside. Add 6 cups sugar and vinegar to stockpot; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in rinds, cover, and let stand overnight.
  2. 2 On day 2, transfer rinds to a clean bowl using a slotted spoon. Heat syrup in the stockpot over high heat; add 4 cups sugar. Bring to a boil until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in rinds, cover, and let stand overnight.
  3. 3 On day 3, transfer rinds to a clean bowl using a slotted spoon. Heat syrup in the stockpot over high heat; add 2 cups sugar. Bring to a boil until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in rinds, cover, and let stand overnight. Repeat Step 3 every day for 6 more days.
  4. 4 On day 10, inspect 14 (1-pint) canning jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water. Sterilize jars, rings, and lids in boiling water; immerse in simmering water until watermelon rinds are ready. Pack rinds into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets on the sides. Add 2 cloves and 1 cinnamon stick to each jar. Return syrup to a boil; fill jars with syrup to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel and remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  5. 5 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and carefully lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat; let jars stand in water off heat for 2 hours.
  6. 6 Remove jars from the stockpot; place on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart until cool. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down and the seal is tight. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area for 2 weeks before opening.
