    1. Rinse the watermelon under water and wipe it dry. It's best to use a watermelon of medium ripeness, whole and free of cracks. Cut it into slices that will fit easily into your jars. Once all the cut watermelon is packed in, pour boiling water from the kettle into the jars. Cover with lids and let them sit for a while — about 5–7 minutes. 2. Drain the liquid from the jars into a pot to make the marinade. Add the salt and sugar, stir, and bring to a boil. 3. Put the mustard powder and citric acid into the jars and carefully pour the boiling brine over the watermelon slices. Seal the lids, turn the jars over, and let them cool somewhere warm under a blanket. After that, move them to a cool spot for storage.
