Ingredients

  • 0.5 teaspoon peppercorns black with flat side of a large knife crushed
  • 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar 
  • 0.3 cup ginger fresh minced peeled
  • 1.5 tablespoons garlic minced
  • tablespoons to 2 chilies slit green such asthai or serrano (including seeds) hot minced
  • teaspoon salt 
  • cups sugar 
  • 1.5 cups water 
  • lb watermelon (flesh and rind)

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • knife
  • peeler

Directions

  1. Remove watermelon flesh from rind and reserve flesh for another use. Scrape off and discard any remaining pink flesh from rind, then cut rind crosswise into 2-inch-wide strips and remove green peel with a Y-shaped vegetable peeler or a sharp knife. Discard green peel.
  2. Cut white rind into 1/2-inch cubes (you will have 5 to 6 cups).
  3. Bring rind and remaining ingredients to a boil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until rind is tender and translucent and liquid is syrupy, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool chutney, uncovered, then chill in an airtight container 1 to 3 days to allow flavors to mellow.
  4. Chutney keeps, covered and chilled, 1 month.
