  cold water Pour the solution over the watermelon rind and let rind stand
  for 3 hours.  Drain and rinse thoroughly.  Cover the rind with clear cold
  water, bring to a boil and boil until the rind is tender. Combine 2 cups
  sugar, 1 cup vinegar, and 4 cups water. Add 2 T each of whole allspice and
  whole cloves, 4 sticks cinnamon and 2 pieces of ginger root, all tied in a
  bag.  Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Add the rind and 2 hot
  peppers, bring agin to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes. Let the rind
  stand in the syrup in a cool place for 12 to 24 hours. Add 3 Cups vinegar

  rind is transparent.  If the syrup becomes too thick before the rind is

  bag, pack the rind and the boiling-hot syrup into hot jars and seal. Makes
