Pickle Melon. pickled watermelon is an acquired taste but I do like the stuff. I had a recipe I liked and lost so tried this one. I liked my old one better.

Test Kitchen Tip: Make sure to look for smaller, ripe watermelons to ensure a tender rind, and cook the rind in well-salted water to help soften it. A tasty alternative to traditional pickle relish, spoon this cantaloupe and honeydew condiment onto pork, chicken or turkey burgers for a mix-and-match burger bar, or serve alongside cheese, fruit and crackers. Reserve any leftover melon for another use. You can have Pickle Melon using 7 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

These are some of the prettiest pickles ever. Red, white and green slices of watermelon float in brine with feathery green dill, chunks of celery, and garlic cloves. Watermelon pickle is made using the white part of the watermelon's rind. It is delicious by itself as a winter treat or as a condiment with turnip greens or turkey and cornbread dressing. Home canning is a delightful cooking experience, but requires equipment such as a canner (very large pot), a rack for the jars to rest in, and the jars and lids.
