  2. Soak in Sugar: Soak the prepared rinds in granulated sugar overnight to draw out moisture and infuse sweetness.
  3. Cook the Rind: Drain excess sugar and cook the soaked rinds over medium heat for about 40 minutes until they become translucent.
  4. Cool and Store: Let your watermelon candy cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container to keep it fresh.
