SC - Re: sca-cooks V1 #3117 - buying watermelon pickles

[Sue Clemenger]

Oh heck, yes, it's easy to do...I used to make watermelon pickle every
summer.  IIRC, being a pickle, the syrup also has vinegar in it....the
overall effect is sorta sweet/sour.

It's essenbtially a wet sucket -- you eat the melon, trim off the dark green side, cube it, sprinkle with kosher coarse salt, and let sit overnight.  Then you wash it off and simmer until translucent in a sugar syrup. Moderate addition of whole cloves, slivers of cinnamon stick, also good.  Specific weights etc must wait until I am home with some time to root out the cookbook, though...
