Jul. 4th, 2021 10:33 amBought our first watermelon of the summer this weekend, so this morning I made watermelon rind pickles.
I think watermelon pickles might be my favorite pickle? I like that they use a part of the fruit that I would otherwise just throw away, and because it's a rind, you never have to worry about the pickles getting too squidgy. (I like a pickle to have some firmness when you bite into it.) Plus, watermelon rind doesn't have a huge amount of inherent flavor, so it acts purely as a vessel for pickle-brine taste.
Peeling the watermelon rind kinda sucks, though.
Anyway! ( Here is a recipe, in case you would also like to pickle some watermelon rind! )
