Remember that beautiful watermelon that L had growing in the garden? It got to be about the size of one of those soccer balls that your kids start out with at age 4. We appraised it and thumped it, and decided to go ahead and pick it.
Unfortunately we jumped the gun a bit - it wasn't ripe yet. Since the inside was inedible, I decided to make watermelon rind pickles so that we didn't waste the entire thing. The recipe that I used made 2 quarts, so I gifted one to my parents.
They are crispy, sweet-tart, and a bit zippy. Not bad at all for a near fail!
