I haven't decided on a title yet. I think the article is a little on the short side as well. To the right there will be the recipe, below will be a list of possible uses and benefits of the rind.
Watermelon is a delicious summertime treat, with one question that always gets asked, “What do I do with all this rind?”. Others follow, “Do I eat it?”, “ Do I compost it?”, “Should I just through it away?”. Well a big “No” to all. Because there are so many things to do with the rind. Including one very well kept southern secret pickling watermelon rind!
As trends in your diet go in and out sustainability is definitely in and just tossing the rinds into you neighbors yard is not the way to go. A pickled rind maintains it’s slightly sweet taste while mixing with the sour and crunch of a pickle. It is also pretty, and has a slight pink color to it when pickled.
The recipe to the right can be modified to exclude the cherries and include radishes or ginger providing a less sweet pickled taste. You can also find countless internet recipes to provide a larger array of pickling techniques and tastes. The pickling process is one that can be left alone to stand overnight, slave to the kitchen you are not.
Something great can be done with the rind and it doesn’t end with just pickling it. Look below!
