Directions
Watermelon Rind Pickles, Mom made these when I was a kid and they were quite a treat. I sometimes make them for my own family and they don’t last long. They are such an unusual food that they make for quite the conversation., I made a similar recipe several years ago. They turned out so well I wanted to do it again but couldn’t find the recipe any longer. This one seemed very similar so I’m hoping for excellent results. This is one of the 4+ quarts it made.
