Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 This is from my old Household Searchlight Recipe Book - I haven't tried it but sounds like the recipe you're looking for. Cantaloup/ Watermelon Pickles Melon rind 4 cups sugar 3 cups water 1 tablespoon allspice 1 tablespoon whole cloves 1 large stick cinnamon 1 cup vinegar Select melons which are slightly under ripe. Remove rind and all soft portion. Cut in pieces suitable for serving. Cover with a brine made by dissolving 4 tablespoons of salt in 1 quart water. Let stand 3 hours. Drain. Rinse in cold water. Add rind to sirup made of remaining ingredients. There should be sufficient sirup to cover rind. Boil 10 minutes. Let stand overnight. Boil slowly until rind is clear. Peace, Angela great grandma recycled, she called it making do. who I am is fine, it's just this body that's disabled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
