Watermelon peel jam exists in real life. There is nothing easier, while eating the largest and juiciest August "berry", put the crusts in a separate container, and then put them into the preparation of dessert. Jam is cooked in a simple way - in an enamel bowl on the stove. A light shade of orange will give the dessert an unforgettable taste and aroma.

I don't use citric acid in the recipe. To make jam from watermelon peels and oranges for the winter, we need a ripe orange with elastic zest, watermelon peels and granulated sugar.

Sugar - 1 kg

Orange - 1 pc.

Рецепт

1. So, the recipe. The hard striped part of the watermelon peels is cut off with a knife. We are left with a layer between the pulp and the crust itself. Ideally, the thicker the watermelon rind, the thicker the jam. Everything is cut into large cubes or sticks.

2. Cubes are filled with sugar. A basin with sugar crusts is placed on the stove. The contents are brought to a boil with gentle stirring.

3. Next, the "first" jam is set aside for a day. In this case, the basin must be covered with a waffle towel.

4. The next day, the jam is brought to a boil again and set aside now for 12 hours. The watermelon rinds should become somewhat translucent. I bring the crusts to the desired condition in four passes, but it is important not to boil, but only bring to a boil, removing the foam if necessary.

5. When you like the result of turning a tight watermelon peel, rub the orange zest directly into the basin and squeeze out some orange juice. Bring the watermelon peel jam with orange to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

6. Everything is ready! Transparent watermelon peel jam with an orange tint will win you over from the first spoon.
