I made some a few years ago, more or less as an afterthought when I
happened to have a really thick-rinded watermelon on hand, and I
completely disregarded the rules on how they should be made. Basically
boiled them in a sweet-and-sour vinegar syrup with pickling spices and
just a little salt. Really rather embarrassing, the shortcuts I took.
Of course, people keep asking for them again, they want the recipe, etc.
You can't make them with some kind of DaVinci syrup or something? If I
understand the nature of the difficulty, I'm betting it is not
insurmountable.
