Watermellon Rind Pickles

A favorite summer treat. This way you can eat the WHOLE•watermelon rind, 4 quarts of 1-inch chunks (see directions for preparation)


•3 quarts water
•3/4 cup salt
•1 quart white or cider vinegar
•8 cups sugar
•2 tablespoons whole cloves
•10 to 12 3-inch cinnamon sticks, broken into 1-inch pieces
•1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
•red food coloring, optional

Peel green skin and cut off inner pink from watermelon rind; cut into 1-inch chunks and measure 4 quarts. Put in a non-metal bowl and add the water and salt. Add more water if necessary, to cover the rind chunks. Cover and soak overnight in refrigerator. Drain and cover with clear water; transfer to a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil and continue to boil for 30 minutes; drain. Pour vinegar into an 8-quart kettle; add sugar. Tie spices in a cheesecloth bag and add to vinegar mixture. Bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes. Add the drained watermelon rind. Boil gently until rind is transparent and syrup is slightly thickened, about 45 to 55 minutes. Remove spices 15 minutes before done and add the food coloring, if using, just to tint.

Spoon into hot sterilized 1-pint jars, leaving about 1/2-inch head space, and seal. Process jars in boiling water bath for 10 minutes. For altitudes from 1,001 to 6,000 feet, process for 15 minutes. For altitudes over 6,000 feet, process for 20 minutes.

Makes about 4 pints.

Sticky Sweet BBQ Sauce

It's summer and I love BBQ ribs and chicken on the grill...I like my BBQ sweet. Now talkin' BBQ the best in the world is in Kingstree, SC. It's worth a swing through on the way to the beach to stop in at Brown's Bar-B-Que...it's pork cooked in just a vinegar/pepper base.

Sticky Sweet BBQ Sauce

1 12-oz bottle chili sauce (I prefer Heinz)
1 12-oz jar grape jelly
2 T yellow mustard
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1/2- 1 t freshly ground black pepper
1 t salt
pinch granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 T apple cider vinegar (optional) I recommend it.

In sauce pan combine chili sauce  and jelly. Heat over med. heat, stirring occasionally  until jelly is melted; whisk together.  When mixture is smooth and begins to bubble add the rest of the  ingredients. Vinegar keeps it from being too sweet. Cool. Will  keep in fridge tightly covered 1 week. Makes 2 1/2 cups.
