No Nate, they’re much sweeter.

I’ve never eaten watermelon rind pickles before. Do they taste the same as regular cucumber pickles?

It’s very much a deep southern USA thing I believe. They taste a little chutney or relish like but much sweeter then normal. Very sweet with a savoury edge. Good with a sharp cheese and meat. Sweet enough to be used as a jam too in my opinion.

I have never heard of this! (I’m also realising through reading food blogs that I’m much more ignorant about food than I ever thought possible).
What do these taste like? I just can’t imagine the flavour…

I certainly won’t be pickling ALL our peel but last year’s supply is long gone so I’m happy to make a few batches.

LOL !! I did this a few years ago using a Stephanie Alexander recipe, when I made a big batch of melon balls for a party. Then I ate W/m pickles for years after. Gave heaps away. Next lot of peel went in the compost.
