Pickled Watermelon Rind

Pickled watermelon rind is traditionally eaten in the southern states of America. Making use of leftover rinds, this is a truly a zero-waste dish. A recipe for pickled watermelon rind appears in one of the first African American cookbooks, 'What Mrs Fisher Knows about Southern Cooking' from 1881. We bought our pickled watermelon rind from Garden of Eva, which is made in south London by African American Eva Thorne. The pickled watermelon rind has a jewel-like appearance and a sweet and tangy flavour.

Main ingredients are watermelon rind, sugar, white vinegar, salt, and cinnamon.
