Steps

1

Remove the green skin of the watermelon completely. Chop the rind as evenly as possible into a small pieces.
2

Soak the watermelon rind pieces in water and baking soda for 3 hours, this step takes about an hour, but it is a necessary step. It will help the watermelon rind pieces hold their shape and not get soggy.
3

Then rinse and drain it well. You will need exactly the same amount of sugar as the rind weighs, so 1 to 1 ratio. Add water and sugar and turn on the heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. When the syrup comes to a boil, add the watermelon rind and the lemon juice. Cook until a light syrup forms.
4

Place the watermelon rind jam into the bowl. Ready to serve with mango ice cream 😋😋😋
Note; To preserves you should keep in a cool place. If the jars are sterilized and well-sealed the jam should be good for a very long time.
