Ingredients

• Watermelon peel 1 kg
• Baking soda 3 tsp spoons
• Water 600 ml

Cooking method

• Cut off the green skin from the watermelon rinds (only the white part should remain) and cut them into small pieces (3-4 cm).

• Dissolve the baking soda in 3 liters of water and place the crusts in the resulting solution. Leave them to soak overnight. Rinse thoroughly with clean water in the morning.

• Next, cook the sugar syrup: 600 ml of water for 600 g of sugar. When the syrup starts to thicken, dip the crusts in it, bring to a boil and cook for another 30 minutes over low heat.

• Then turn it off and leave to infuse for 5-8 hours.

• Then add the remaining sugar, bring to a boil again and cook for half an hour. Leave it on for another 5-8 hours. Repeat the procedure a third time. At the end of the third boil, add lemon juice and vanillin.
