Pickling everything.
I love pickles! I love pretty much anything that is pickled that isn’t incredibly hot. A couple of weeks ago I pickled some turnips. They aren’t that bad. Not something I would sit and gorge myself on but a surprisingly different taste that is good mixed with other pickled things on your plate. Today I believe that the time has come to try pickling something I have heard about but never tasted – watermelon rind. There is just something about this that calls to me and begs me to give it a whirl. I bought a melon yesterday and have been plundering my way through it. I LOVE watermelon. I have been cutting the fruit away from the rind and saving the rind. Cutting the peel off the rind is a bit of a pain. I have read a couple of recipes that call for leaving the green peel on the rind. I may try it both ways or a mixture of the two in the same jar. I will let you know what the results are as the tasting time draws nearer.
