<<< Yes, I'm familiar with the relish dish concept...in fact I inherited
several relish trays in cut and pressed glass from my mother.

mentioned...or maybe it's a southern "thing"...watermelon rind
pickle. >>>
Hmmm. Sounds like it might be a Depression (Desperation?) Era dish.
<<< YUMMMM...but I can't have it anymore, sigh. >>>
Huh? Why not? Isn't it just vinegar and spices? Or does it have a lot
of sugar added?
<<< And my mother used to make spiced peaches that were to die for. >>>
Brandied Peaches? I think I may remember these from my grandmother.

(only about a teaspoon or two of brandy left in the house. I used up
the rest of what little I had in a bundt cake last night. Ended up
stretching it a bit with spiced rum)
