1

Prepare the Watermelon Rinds

Start by cutting away the green skin and any remaining red flesh from the watermelon rinds. Then, cut the rinds into small, bite-sized pieces. You can also remove any remaining pink or translucent parts.

2

Brine the Rinds

Place the watermelon rind pieces in a large bowl or container. In a separate saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and spices (such as mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and cloves). Bring the mixture to a boil, then pour it over the rinds. Make sure all the rinds are submerged in the brine.

3

Let It Marinate

Cover the bowl or container and let the watermelon rinds marinate in the brine overnight, or for at least 8 hours. This will allow the flavors to infuse and the rinds to become tender and tangy.

4

Store and Enjoy

After marinating, transfer the watermelon rind pickles to sterilized jars and seal them tightly. Refrigerate the jars for at least a week before enjoying the pickles. As time goes by, the flavors will continue to develop, and your pickles will become more delicious.
