PICKLED WATERMELON RINDS
My mother never threw anything away and when it came to summer, watermelons were no exception. Seeds went in the ground for growing and the rinds were pickled!

Steps:
- In a glass bowl, stir together the water and salt until the salt has dissolved. Add the watermelon rinds and any additional water needed to cover them. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
- Drain the watermelon rinds from the salted water, and place into a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Cover with fresh water, then place over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil rinds for 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, tie the cloves, mustard seed, and cinnamon sticks in a piece of cheesecloth. Place into a large saucepan or Dutch oven along with the vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from the heat and let stand for 15 minutes. Stir in the drained watermelon rind, then return to the stove over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the rind is transparent and the syrup is slightly thickened, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove and discard the spices after 40 minutes. Stir in the food coloring if desired.
- Ladle into hot sterilized 1 pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Seal jars with new lids and rings, making sure you have cleaned the jar's rims of any residue. Process jars under 1 inch of water in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Let cool overnight, then press down on the lids to make sure they are sealed before storing. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator and enjoy those first.

PICKLED WATERMELON AND WATERMELON RIND
This is a great way to have some fruit mixed in with your pickled vegetables. The pickling liquid is also delicious. I use the liquid in marinades for meat, salad dressings or sauce, and even cocktails! I do pickled rind and pickled watermelon at the same time to maximize the use of the fruit. I start with a huge wedge of melon (because you will nibble, and so will everyone else as they see you making this) and cut the cubes. Cut the rind (not the skin) into small pieces once you have removed the flesh.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 4 cups water over medium heat. Bring up to a boil. Place the coriander and peppercorns on a cutting board. Lightly crush the spices with the bottom of a sturdy pan, then add them to the liquid. Turn the heat down to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning. It should be a mix of vinegary, sweet and slightly salty. Shut it off to cool slightly.
- Fill a quart-size jar with the watermelon cubes and a pint-size jar with the rind pieces.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the melon and rind and let it cool at room temperature, uncovered, for 2 hours. Place in the refrigerator and let it chill, uncovered, overnight. Then cover tightly. The pickles will be good for 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
PICKLED WATERMELON RIND
--Adopted Recipe-- I used to make watermelon rind pickle, but my recipe is in the group of my recipes that is "hiding" from me. I will try to figure out how much rind, but I am guessing it is the peeled rind of one melon, and have changed the directions to reflect this. I have also added the step of soaking overnight in salt water. Amount of salt is approximate, but I never made any kind of pickle without any salt, as this recipe originally was written. Everything in this recipe is subject to change when I find my recipe. I have simply made some changes to try to make the recipe a little clearer, because I don't want someone to waste time and ingredients on a recipe that really seemed to be missing some ingredients and some steps. Preparation time includes standing time.

Steps:
- Peel the hard rind from the outside of the watermelon, and scrape off most of the pink from the inside. Chop into 3/4-1 inch pieces.
- Add salt to water and pour over watermelon rind in a large glasss or ceramic bowl. Soak overnight in the refrigerator.
- In the morning, pour off the salt water and rinse well.
- Add three pounds of brown sugar to the vinegar in a cooking pan. Bruise the spices, tie in a muslin bag and boil with the vinegar for five minutes.
- Then pour over the rind and let it stand twenty-four hours at room temperature.
- The next day, drain and save the liquid and, after heating it to a boil again, pour it over the rind again and let stand another twenty-four hours at room temperature.
- The last morning, bring to a full boil and boil all together for 10 minutes, then pour into sterilized jars and process according to the directions in a reputable canning guide.

WATERMELON RIND RELISH
From Cooking Light Magazine, anything with this summer favorite melon seems perfect for hot weather. For this recipe, you'll need the rind of a five-pound melon. Use the white inner rind, not the outer green part, which might have been waxed. Shred the rind with the large holes of a box grater, or cut it into chunks and shred it in a food processor. Serve the relish with ham or fish, or stir a little into steamed carrots.

- A shortcut to start you off: If you have a food processor you can just toss roughly chopped watermelon rind, onions, and peppers into the bowl of the processor and pulse until they're a good size. I like mine in about 1/8 - 1/4" pieces. If you don't have a food processor, just chop them finely by hand.
- Combine watermelon rind, onion, peppers, and salt in a large bowl, stirring well. Chill overnight. Place in a colander to drain; rinse thoroughly and drain again. Transfer to a large stock pot and add remaining ingredients; bring just to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. At this point, the relish is done. You can just put it in jars and then in the refrigerator to use right away or give as gifts.
- If you'd like your relish to be shelf stable, you'll need to process it. Ladle hot relish into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-in. head space. Wipe rims with a damp cloth (to assure a good seal), screw sterilized lids on, and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. (Click through for a complete tutorial on water bath canning if you've never done it before.)
