Comment préparer Watermelon Rind Preserves

Wash and peel the watermelon rind, removing any pink flesh. Cut the rind into 1-inch thick strips.
Place the rind strips in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then drain and repeat this process twice more. This removes any bitterness.
Combine the blanched rind with water, sugar, lemon juice, and lime juice in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 3-3.5 hours, or until the rind is translucent and tender. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
Stir in the vanilla extract during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Once the preserves have thickened to a desired consistency, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Ladle the hot preserves into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean and seal tightly.
Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation. Let the jars cool completely before checking the seals. Store in a cool, dark place.
