Ingredients
400g Watermelon rind, chopped and blended
100g caster sugar
30 mins to prepare and bake | Makes 1 small jar
Method
Gather 400g worth of watermelon rind by slicing off the green and pink bits off the watermelon. Chop into small pieces and place into a blender to blend for no more than 10 seconds until the consistency is mushy.
Pour into a large saucepan over a medium heat and stir for 2-3 minutes. Then stir in the caster sugar.
Continue stirring over a medium heat for 25-30 minutes minutes. The rind will reduce and begin to form a pinky orange colour.
Reduce the temperature for a further 10 minutes to allow the jam to thicken and darken in appearance.
Leave to cool. Meanwhile, sterilise the jam jar with hot water before storing the jam.
