How do you prepare watermelon?

[MuleShoe]

Wife eats salt on hers but I like mine the way it comes out of the rind!

Anyone keep the rinds to make watermelon pickles?

We used to end up with a freezer full by October when I was growing up so my Mom could make them for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

3 2 1 method. 3 cups vinegar, 2 cups water, and 1 cup sugar. Put rinds in jar and boil everything and pour over rinds refrigerate and wait a couple days.

Cut it & cube it, Put in a bowl, pour Vodka over it, Chill, & serve!
And the juice in the bottom of the bowl, YUM!!!

On a sidenote… We used to have watermelon roasts. This is where everybody pairs up with the one they love, around a campfire in the woods. A little drinking, a little snuggling. Then we put a watermelon in the campfire, and when it explodes everybody steps out in the woods and get‘s them a piece….

Similar to the donkey roasts I attended as a teenager.

Try it with fresh mint, feta cheese and balsamic vinegar.

Big wash tub, place the melon in the middle fill the tub full of ice, give it about 3 days submerged in the ice and take it out on a SATURDAY/ SUNDAY AFTERNOON, and cut it up however you like it and enjoy it.

Wife usually cuts up and puts it container. Growing up was always sliced and ate. I like thin slices where you can just hold and eat down to the rind. Never heard of pickled rinds
