Cindy Strawsers note: Here's one, may not be the one you are looking for though (I have some that are chiffon pies but they do not have a top crust). My Grandmother used to make these and watermelon rind preserves.

How To Make watermelon pie

  • 1
    Place watermelon rind in a small saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; drain. Combine watermelon rind with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, vinegar, raisins, and pecans; stir to combine then set aside. Fit 1 pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour watermelon rind mixture into the pie crust. Top with remaining pie crust; fold edges under, and crimp all around the edge. Cut small slits in top crust. Bake at 350° for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden, shielding edges of pie crust with strips of aluminum foil (or a pie shield) after 25 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Cool watermelon pie on a wire rack.
