Grandma's Watermelon Rinds Watermelon.WMF (6028 bytes)

 

No tartness here!  This delightful recipe features wintergreen as the "pickling" agent instead of vinegar.  Enjoy!

Your Host,  Brad


1 pound watermelon rinds
1/2 cup sugar
3-4 drops of wintergreen

verna.gif (18757 bytes)Trim rinds by leaving a little pink and removing all of the dark green; this should leave you with either light green or white bottomside and pink topside.  Place rinds in pot and cover just to top with water.  Add sugar, cover and cook on medium-low heat for 2-3 hours or until just tender but not mushy.

Remove from heat and add 3 to 4 drops of wintergreen (or to taste).   Refrigerate and serve cool.
