Pickle of Watermelon Rind

Cut in pieces and soak the rind in weak salt and water for twenty-four hours--of course having first peeled off the outside. To seven pounds rind put three pounds sugar; scald well in ginger tea, and make a syrup of the sugar and vinegar, enough to cover the rind. Season the syrup with mace and ginger, and boil the rind in it till tender. A delicious pickle.--Mrs. Dr. P. C.
