Ingredients:

  • 2 cups watermelon rind, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • pie pastry for 2-crust pie, homemade or purchased

Preparation:

Place watermelon rind in a small saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; drain.

Combine watermelon rind with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, vinegar, raisins, and pecans; stir to combine then set aside.

Fit 1 pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour watermelon rind mixture into the pie crust. Top with remaining pie crust; fold edges under, and crimp all around the edge. Cut small slits in top crust.

Bake at 350° for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden, shielding edges of pie with strips of aluminum foil after 25 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Cool watermelon pie on a wire rack.
