Watermelon skins jam

Most often, candied fruits are made from watermelon peels, but they are inferior in taste to jam. Thanks to the addition of lemon, it turns out to be not so cloying and sweet, with a slight sourness.

Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 5
Rinse the watermelon rind well under running water and pat dry with napkins or a towel. Cut off the tough green layer and cut the rind into thick strips.
step 2 out of 5
Put them in a saucepan, cover with water and add sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and wait for the sugar to dissolve.
step 3 out of 5
Grate the lemon zest on a fine grater and add to the crusts. Mix thoroughly and cook everything for 15 minutes. Then remove from heat and set aside for 6-12 hours until completely cooled.
step 4 out of 5
The cooled jam must be boiled again, boiled for 10 minutes and cooled, this procedure must be repeated at least two more times, or until the crusts become as transparent as possible.
step 5 out of 5
After the last boil, place the jam in the storage containers. These can be regular food containers or pre-pasteurized seaming jars if you want to keep this jam until winter.
Bon Appetit!
