WATERMELON SLICE COOKIES
Once when I made these butter cookies for a party, a neighbor thought they were so attractive that she froze one to show friends. They're easy to make, too! -Sue Ann Benham, Valparaiso, Indiana

Steps:
- Mix granulated sugar, shortening, butter, vanilla, egg and food color in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour and salt. Divide dough in half. (If dough is soft, cover and refrigerate until firm enough to handle.)
- Shape each half of dough into a roll about 2 inches in diameter; flatten one side so roll becomes a half circle. Roll rounded side in green sugar. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, flat side down, at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
- Heat oven to 375°. Place each roll flat side down; cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Gently push a few chocolate chips, point sides down, into each slice to look like watermelon seeds.
- Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies just begin to brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Wash the outside of your watermelon and place it on a plate so that it doesn't roll - you may need to slice off some of the rind to make a flat spot.
- Trace the lids from the tequila and orange liquor bottles on either side of the melon. Then cut out with a sharp knife. Insert bottles into the watermelon and do not disturb for 48 hours.
- Remove liquor bottles. Cut watermelon into slices and drizzle with lime juice.

WATERMELON PICKLES
Watermelon pickle is made using the white part of the watermelon's rind. It is delicious by itself as a winter treat or as a condiment with turnip greens or turkey and cornbread dressing. Home canning is a delightful cooking experience, but requires equipment such as a canner (very large pot), a rack for the jars to rest in, and the jars and lids. I recommend following the home canning guidance in the 'Ball Blue Book of Preserving' to obtain precise instructions on how to sterilize jars and guarantee results that are tasty and safe.

Steps:
- Stir canning salt into 1 gallon water in a large container until dissolved; add watermelon rind. Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and let sit 12 hours. Drain and rinse completely.
- Combine drained watermelon rind and 1 gallon water in a stock pot. Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the rind is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour; drain and set aside.
- Put cinnamon sticks, allspice, and cloves in cheesecloth or spice bag. Combine vinegar, sugar, spice bag, maraschino cherries, and lemon slices in the stock pot; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add watermelon rind to the pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the rind is transparent, about 5-10 minutes. Remove the spice bag and set aside.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Put one whole clove into each jar. Break cinnamon sticks into pieces and put 1 piece into each jar.
- Pack the watermelon rind with the vinegar mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

PAN-FRIED WATERMELON
I hate to waste anything, so when my watermelon vines with melons on them were dying, I took unripe small melons, washed, partly peeled, sliced, and cooked them in butter, of course! The result was surprising, indeed. It is a wonderful addition to any dish, breakfast eggs, lunch, or dinner. A sweet, very juicy flavor similar to zucchini. Loved it.
