SPICED WATERMELON RIND
When everyone else tosses their rind, our family pickles it! Oh what a treat this is during the holidays and it's always gone after the first of the new year. To me, it has a taste of Christmas about it. This does not taste like watermelon at all but more like a sweet relish! If you have never tried it, now is the time!
