Categories     Fruit

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 medium watermelon, the rind including 1/2 inch red flesh
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp plus 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 whole star anise
1 thumb-sized knob of fresh ginger, peeled

Steps:

  • Cut the watermelon rind into 1-inch-thick slices. Carefully slice the skin off each slice, and cut the slices into 1-inch chunks. 2. Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, star anise, and ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the watermelon rind and boil for 1 minute, then carefully transfer to a quart container. Cool and then refrigerate. These pickles are ready to eat in a couple of hours and will keep for about a week and a half-they start to lose flavor and get too soft after that.
