[Sca-cooks] Watermelon Rind Pickles

[Chef Christy]

Watermelon Rind Pickles are complete! 
To answer your question, Stefan, yes, you do eat the rind, leaving just a
touch of red showing (I eat the fruit too, this is an additional product you
can get out of a melon, and since this is an organic one from my CSA box, I
want to get all the bang for my buck that I can get!)

I used the recipe/technique on this site:
http://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/watermelon-rind-pickles

The soak-cook-reduce-soak-chill-reduce-cook-chill process takes a few days,
but I am super happy with their flavor and texture.  They are definitely a
condiment, and would go well next to some cole slaw and bbq :)

They are pretty too.  I've posted pictures here:

<<< My CSA has been delivering lots of wonderful veggies and I just blogged
about making ratatouille (askchefchristy.com/blog/blog), and I have a bowl
of watermelon rind cut up in the fridge to make pickles with.  (Not silly or
period, but that's what's going on in my kitchen just now.) >>>

Huh? You are eating the watermelon rind, instead of the watermelon?

What a crazy, mixed up world. :-)

So what do you do to make watermelon rind edible?
