>>>Do you ever make watermelon rind pickles?<<<

Yum, I have made some about 10 or 12 years ago, but haven’t since. This year, I planted more watermelons than I usually do, and looks like there will probably be 50 or so 25 - 30 # mellons. So, I was looking for recipes for watermelon rind pickles. (I could eat maybe a dozen myself, but will need something to do with all that rind.)

Thank you for posting those - the Red Hots sound great - I will have to make a case or two for grand kids and daughter.(All are Red Hots fans.)

Then I am going to have to figure out what to do with about 500 35-40# pumpkins..... Yep, I got carried away there... My hybrid poplars are in 300’ rows about 10’ apart, and I just planted the in between area till I ran out of seed... (yes, I always over-order seeds) At least the chickens will finally get their fill, and I should have all the pies and pumpkin seeds I can eat, along with pumpkin bread, puree of pumpkin, etc. I plan to try storing a couple hundred in a straw bale enclosed above ground root cellar with lots of loose straw on top. No way could I put that many in my regular root cellar. So, everyone - I am looking for lots of pumpkin recipes!
