From what we didn’t make jam when we lived in Uzbekistan. And from berries, and from fruits, and even from vegetables. Yes, yes, do not be surprised they were prepared from tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. And, of course, melons and gourds were not ignored. They cooked it from melon and watermelon.
Melon was used when they bought it not too sweet. Nobody wanted to eat such a melon, and this is not surprising in the land, where the most delicious vegetables and fruits in the world. And it was also a pity to throw it away. And then such a melon was either used for preparation, or dried.
And they cooked from watermelon when they bought a thick-skinned watermelon. Then they cut off the thick crusts from it and do not throw them away. I had to cook, and for good reason - it turned out very tasty.
Now the watermelon season is in full swing. And most likely, many come across watermelons with thick crusts. So why throw them out. Than good to be lost! Let's cook. There will be something to drink tea with on long winter evenings. And how delicious it is to serve such jam with, or.
Prepared according to this recipe, it turns out not only tasty, but also beautiful. It is completely transparent, golden, as if filled with solar warmth and light. Where does it come from, white watermelon crusts and sugar ... and the color is simply amazing!
I suggest buying a watermelon as soon as possible, and preparing this delicacy for everyone! Well, at least a few jars.
We need:
Preparation:
1. Before you cut the watermelon, wash it thoroughly with warm water and soap. Then let the water drain. and cut as you normally would. Cut off the crusts. Cut the pulp into pieces and eat, and cut off the green part from the crusts. We won't need it, so throw it away immediately.
When you cut off the crusts, leave just a little of the red part of the watermelon on them. In this case, the delicacy will be both tastier and more beautiful.
2. Cut the white part into cubes. The sizes can be arbitrary. Someone loves large pieces more, someone smaller. I cut the crusts to a size of about 2x2 cm. When all the crusts have been cut and cut, they must be weighed. We need this in order to know how much sugar to add.
For 1 kg of peeled watermelon crusts, you will need 1 kg of sugar.
If it is not possible to weigh, then add approximately, that is, "by eye". Previously, no one had any scales, and sugar was always added "by eye". And the jam did not become less tasty from this. But try better to shift the sugar in this case than not to add it.
3. Fill the sliced \u200b\u200bpieces with sugar, shake the basin lightly from side to side so that the crusts are mixed with the sugar. This will let them run the juice faster. Place them in a cool place so that the crusts let out the juice and the sugar begins to dissolve.
Someone adds water, or makes a sugar syrup with water. I think this is overkill. Watermelon is 90 percent water. So why do we need to add it yet. In addition, I personally like the finished product more, where there is more of a solid component than a liquid one. The watermelon rinds will already let in a lot of juice, and this will make a lot of syrup.
Moreover, without adding water, the jam will be thicker, more viscous. And with water - liquid. And it will take longer to cook it. Therefore, decide for yourself if you need to add water. But I'll tell you right away, I wouldn't recommend it.
4. Let the crusts with sugar stand for four hours. During this time, they will already let in a sufficient amount of juice in order to start cooking.
5. Gently mix the contents. Be careful not to damage the crusts while stirring throughout the cooking process. The jam will be beautiful when they remain intact.
6. We put on a small fire so that the sugar gradually dissolves. If the fire is high, then the sugar can burn. Do not forget to periodically gently stir the sliced \u200b\u200bpieces.
7. When the syrup begins to boil, and this will happen when all the sugar has dissolved, the heat can be added to medium. Foam will begin to appear, it must be carefully removed.
The foam should be skimmed off when making any jam. If left, it can ferment during storage. And all our labors will be in vain.
8. Once the syrup has boiled over the entire surface, let it simmer for only 5 minutes. Then turn it off immediately. Leave to cool at room temperature. When it cools down, cover with a towel so that it does not get dusty and so that insects do not get into it. Flies, midges immediately feel where it is delicious.
It will stand until the next day. To prevent the towel from falling into the basin with the contents, you can first cover it with a grill from the oven, and only then cover it with a towel.
9. The next day, that is, after 24 hours, we repeat the procedure. That is, we bring to a boil again, removing the foam, and cook for 5 minutes. Do not forget to mix the contents. We make sure that nothing is burnt. Sugar, it's so ... sticky, you can hardly keep track of it, it already strives, somewhere to stick.
We remove the basin with the contents again for 24 hours.
10. On the evening of this day, I wash the cans and lids. We sterilize them. You can see how to do this in the recipe. We turn over the cans so that all the water is glass.
11. On the third day, cook again for another 5 minutes. This time, it's ready. The content should become thick and stringy.
If the liquid component does not become viscous, then the jam must be cooled, and again allowed to boil for 5-10 minutes, there is no need to wait 24 hours. Sometimes heating three times is not enough, nevertheless, do not forget that a watermelon is 90 percent water. Therefore, we need to achieve the desired state of viscosity, sometimes 3 times are enough for this, and sometimes 5 times.
12. When we have achieved this state, immediately hot, we lay out the tasty delicacy in sterilized jars to the very top, right under the neck and tighten the lids.
13. We store it in a cool place. It is not necessary to store in the refrigerator.
For aroma during cooking, add 4-5 cloves as desired. Or add citrus fruits - oranges or lemons. Or both. And if there is a vanilla pod, just put it in a basin. He will fill all its contents with a divine scent.
We need:
Preparation:
This cooking method completely repeats the first one described in great detail. Therefore, I will not dwell on the details, but only describe the main points.
1. Peel and cut the watermelon rind.
2. Cover with sugar. Leave to extract juice in a cool place for 3-4 hours.
4. Finely grate the lemon zest, or cut it with a special knife.
5. Grate the zest of two oranges on a fine grater. We rub only the crust itself, without touching the white pulp. It is bitter, and if it gets into the syrup, then it will taste bitter.
6. When the crusts have started the juice, put the contents on low heat and heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
7. Meanwhile, peel the oranges from the remaining peel, disassemble into slices and cut each of the bottom into halves.
8. Add the chopped oranges, zest from them and from the lemon, and squeeze the juice from the lemon directly into the bowl with the rinds and sugar.
9. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
10. The next day we cook for another 5 minutes, and the next - another 5 minutes.
11. If the syrup has not thickened, then the next time we cook it immediately after cooling, it can be done until cooked. And the cooking time can be extended up to 10 minutes.
12. Put the finished delicacy in sterilized jars and tighten the lids.
13. Store in a cool place.
Jam with the addition of citrus fruits is obtained with a slight sourness, and with a very tasty aroma. Each piece of watermelon rind is soaked in citrus juice and becomes very tasty.
Usually, I always prepare such a delicacy with watermelon rinds in this way. It is the tastiest, in my opinion. We cooked according to the first option when we lived in Uzbekistan. There were no oranges or lemons in the summer. And in general it was a luxury.
In a very simple way, you can prepare a delicious treat in a multicooker.
We need:
Preparation:
1. Peel and cut the watermelon rind into cubes of the desired size.
2. Place them in the multicooker bowl.
3. Boil water and pour over the crust, add 300 g of sugar.
4. Set the mode "Quenching", set the contents to cook for 1.5 hours. After an hour, add the remaining sugar.
5. When the time is up, you need to check what we have prepared. If the syrup is not thick enough, then you can set the "Steam" mode. We keep on this mode for 15 minutes.
6. Arrange hot in sterilized jars.
You can also add orange or lemon, or both together in this recipe. Or just a zest, or a twig of a clove.
You can make jam without water. Here is another of the video recipes on how to do this.
There is also a way in which a watermelon delicacy is prepared without adding water. For this recipe, you will need to purchase pectin powder from the store. In this case, cook it in the "Soup" mode until tender, just with the addition of pectin. You can read how to use it on the packaging. To make the jam thicken, we also turn on the "Steam" mode for the last 15 minutes.
In fact, it is the peel that accumulates nitrates. But we just throw out this very green peel, and prepare the jam from the white and pink parts.
In addition, watermelons are "fed" with nitrates when they are very early. This is done to shorten the ripening period. We cook it in the midst, or at the end of the watermelon season. By this time, there is no need to "feed" watermelons with nitrates. They ripen naturally.
There is a way by which all nitrates, if any, are washed off. How to do it.
The crusts are poured with cold water with chalk dissolved in it. Leave for 2-3 hours, then drain the water, and rinse the crusts. Nitrates are “washed off” with water.
There is another simpler method, in which the crusts are simply poured with cold water and refrigerated overnight. Then the water is drained and the crusts are washed.
Whether you resort to this method or not, decide for yourself.
I like to cook "five minutes" at intervals of 24 hours. So that the berries or fruits have time to be saturated with sugar syrup until the very middle. This is what makes it possible to achieve such transparency and taste. In addition, the liquid component, also saturated with juice from berries and fruits, becomes thick, viscous and also tasty.
Therefore, I am in no hurry, and I cook at intervals of 24 hours. We have already prepared and, and.
In this article, I tried to show you the simplest ways to make jam from watermelon peels. I hope that you can easily find the most suitable one for yourself. And you will get a delicious and aromatic delicacy that will delight you in the long winter, remembering the warm summer.

Watermelon jam is not the most popular preparation simply because many housewives are still not familiar with the gastronomic properties of a huge berry, the pulp of which remains fresh during prolonged cooking, the crusts turn into viscous candied fruits, and their excellent compatibility with fruits and spices leads to the creation original delicacies.
Watermelon jam can be made with pulp and rinds. Both options are similar in techniques: the pulp is cut, sprinkled with sugar, insisted for two hours and boiled three times after cooling. The crusts are blanched and boiled in three steps, reducing the cooking time from time to time. For taste and better storage, zest and citric acid are added to the dessert.
Jam from the pulp of watermelon attracts with its simplicity and the minimum number of components, because to create a delicacy you only need the pulp of a striped berry, sugar and citric acid.

Preparation
Apple-watermelon jam does not require thickeners, because garden fruits contain a lot of pectin, which gives the jam the necessary viscosity and thickness, which speeds up the cooking time. Better to use green varieties of apples - they have a lot of natural thickener and sour taste, which can easily dilute the sweetness of watermelon.
