[Sca-cooks] Watermelon Rind Pickles

[Kathleen Roberts]

Stefan, 

I will often buy the pre-cut watermelons when I am making mine to be sure they will actually have enough white rind to bother with.   I have been finding a lot of watermelons that just don't have enough.  I love me some watermelon pickles!

If you buy a pre-cut half or quarter melon, then it is 'test' size for taste, eyeball size for width of rind, and would probably fit in your fridge.

<<< Watermelon Rind Pickles are complete!

To answer your question, Stefan, yes, you do eat the rind,organic one from my CSA box, I want to get all the bang for my buck that I can get!) >>>

Oh, um, okay. I’m skeptical, but I’m going to try them. After all, I now eat (sugared) orange and fruit peels. 

I’ve saved your comments and the link. Now for the time when I might have enough room in my refrigerator for a watermelon. Or a family get together. I’ll just have to buy the watermelon, use it there and save the rind pieces. 

They do seem to have gone up a bit from several years ago. $5 to $8 / melon. I seem to remember less than $5 in the past. Lately they also seem to be less red and less tasty than I remember in the past. Don’t know if it is the seedless variety or my memory.
