Pickled watermelon rind was an invention of the Great Depression, where they used what was available and cheap to make delicious food. After receiving a watermelon as a gift from someone and wanting to make the most of it, I chanced upon WatermelonRind.com, a great website with many recipes using watermelon rind.
Watermelon rind is very nutritious and delicious, and is actually in the squash family. It is no wonder watermelon rind resembles squash in taste and can be used similarly in recipes.
