Chewy Watermelon Rind Candy
Instead of throwing away those watermelon rinds, turn them into a sweet treat with sugar, mint, and sweet basil. If you like, you can roll the dehydrated candy pieces in coarse sugar. Eat immediately or store in the freezer for up to 1 year.

Cook's Notes:
Stevia, xylitol, dextrose, and other sugar substitutes may be used for this recipe.
If you are using dried mint, reduce the amount used to 2 tablespoons.
We have replaced the mint or basil with tea blends to give the syrup and final candy different flavor twists. Green tea with mint was delicious!
