   5      Pounds        Watermelon Rind -- peeled & cubed
   2      Quarts        Water
   2      Tablespoons   Pickling Lime
   1 1/2  Quarts        White Vinegar

Soak rind cubes overnight in lime water. Drain, rinse, soak in clear water
2 hours. Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, lemon juice and spices and bring
to a hard boil. Add rind and cook slowly, about 45 minutes, until rind is
tender. Remove bag of spices and fill sterilized jars. Allow a small space
at top of jars, and be sure rind is covered with liquid before sealing.
