Pickled Watermelon Rind

Instructions

Pare off the green rind and all the pink, using just the white of the melon.

Cut into large squares.

Cover with water, and put in a pinch of alum.

Let stand twenty-four hours.

Pour off the water and drain.

Take enough vinegar to cover, add one teaspoonful of whole allspice, cloves and white mustard seed, and pour over the rind boiling hot.

Heat the vinegar three mornings in succession, and pour over the rind while hot.

It will be ready for use in a week.
