Qarpız Mürəbbəsi

Today I tried my azerbaijani cooking skills for the first time. I made qarpız mürəbbəsi, watermelon rind preserves. I remember the first time I tasted it, it was at the café by fountain square in Baku called Araz. I had never heard about anything like this before, eating the watermelon rind? It sounded crazy. But it is not crazy, it is sweet and nice and heavenly! When I saw the recipe on the wonderful blog AZ Cookbook I couldn't help myself, I had to try it!

And this is the result

This is my first step towards becoming a perfect azerbaijani wife and find myself a good azerbaijani husband. So please show this great mürəbbəsi to all your male azerbaijani friends ;)

Tomorrow I will try to make dovğa
