"You eat your watermelon all the way to the rind. You don't leave me enough pink to make the watermelon preserves!"
This is what my honey, as a child, heard often from his big grandma (meaning tall grandma)
Now ensues the never-ending search for watermelon rind preserves at every country store and stand in the south east. No one EVER has it.
Welp, my friends Cathy, Tara, and I talked about this at lunch, and Tara found some online! I've looked before and only found recipes.
I ordered a jar for a surprise for honey and paid more for shipping than the jar of preserves. I loved the smile on his face when he opened the shipping box.
Guess who had a jelly sandwich immediately??!! The verdict... it's not like grandma's but it's very good.
My honey was happy!
So I guess I need to be brave and try to make watermelon rind preserves myself. Eek!
