Cut all red meat from rinds, then peel all outer skin from rind.

Cut rind into small cubes and soak in lime water overnight. Next

morning, thoroughly wash lime water out. Cover rinds with water

and cook for 15 minutes. Drain and wash thoroughly again. Chill

rinds with ice cubes; weigh rinds and mix pound for pound with

sugar (equal weights of rinds and sugar). Add 2 sliced lemons and sufficient water to cook slowly for about 3 hours or until rinds

become clear. Seal in sterilized jars.
