Pickled Watermelon Rinds

With over 500 varieties grown worldwide, watermelons have come a long way from their humble beginnings. Native to Africa, the watermelon was cultivated in Ancient Egypt as far back as 2400 BC. Named for its massive water content (up to 90%), watermelon remains the fruit of choice during steamy summers and its refreshing qualities are always welcome.
Pickled watermelon rind has always been a uniquely southern favorite. This wonderful item is at once crunchy and moist, tart, and sweet. Pickled to perfection, Prissy's Watermelon Rinds make an unusual addition to most appetizers and salads.
