This watermelon is mammoth. I bought it for $10 and it’s organic. I’ve already butchered it and distributed chunks to five different neighbors. We still have more melon than we’ll eat in a week. #gofarmers
Tonight I’m attempting watermelon rind pickles for the first time. This is part of the “use all parts of the fruit/vegetable” I try to live by. Reducing food waste, preventing the need to buy packaged pickles, reminding me of how precious all the earths resources are. If you have some spare time and would like to try it at home, Please click here for ingredients and recipe.
We shall see how this experiment goes. Excited to be using homemade apple scrap vinegar in the brine.
