    Title: Watermelon Rind Chutney
    Categories: Fruits, Condiments, Chilies, Relishes
    Yield: 3 Servings

    8 lb Piece watermelon; flesh and
    - rind
    1 1/2 c Cider vinegar
    1 1/2 c Water
    2 c Sugar
    1/4 c Minced peeled fresh ginger
    2 tb Minced green Thai or
    - serrano chile, w/seeds
    1 1/2 tb Minced garlic
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Black peppercorns; coarsely
    - crushed

    Remove watermelon flesh from rind and reserve flesh for
    another use. Scrape off and discard any remaining pink
    flesh from rind, then cut rind crosswise into 2" wide
    strips and remove green peel with a Y-shaped vegetable
    peeler or a sharp knife. Discard green peel. Cut white
    rind into 1/2" cubes (you will have 5 to 6 cups).

    Bring rind and remaining ingredients to a boil in a
    4 quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring
    until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer,
    uncovered, stirring occasionally, until rind is tender
    and translucent and liquid is syrupy, 45 to 55 minutes.
    Cool chutney, uncovered, then chill in an airtight
    container 1 to 3 days to allow flavors to mellow.

    COOKS' NOTE: Chutney keeps, covered and chilled, 1
    month.
