1 watermelon rind, peeled, 4 cups water, 4 cups white sugar, ½ cup spearmint leaves, coarsely chopped, 1 tablespoon dried sweet basil
Instructions
Slice watermelon rind into 2-inch by 1-inch pieces, approximately 1/2-inch thick. In a large pot, combine water, sugar, spearmint, and basil, and bring to a rolling boil. Remove the herbs from the liquid. Add the watermelon rind, ensuring it is fully submerged, and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Drain the pieces and arrange them in a single layer on dehydrator trays. Dry for 6 to 8 hours following the manufacturer's directions until the rind is candied and dried.
