Yes it’s true! Use the watermelon rind to make a really sweet and spicy relish. This Watermelon Rind Relish will add flavour to any cheeseboard, wrap or as a chutney with chicken and the best thing is, it’s using a part that we normally throw away.
After the flesh of the watermelon has been eaten, peel the skin off the watermelon and cut into small cubes or grate in a food processor.
In a large pot, add the watermelon and the rest of the ingredients and stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 40-50 minutes until the mixture is tender and the liquid is syrupy. Cool and store in a re-used jar in the fridge for up to 1 month.
