Pickled Watermelon

We plucked our one and only watermelon way too early. It was too sad to throw it away, so: pickle it. I picked a recipe for winter pumpkin and used it in the watermelon.

  • You need a clean glass with an airtight cover. Really clean, as in: boil before use.
  • Peel and cut into small triangles and arrange into the glass
  • Boil 1 cup of water with 1 cup of vinegar, keep on low fire
  • Add a branch of fresh dill and one dried juniper berry
  • Cut ginger into the mix
  • Dissolve some honey into it
  • Pour the hot liquid onto the melon pieces, close the lid tight.
  • Let rest for some weeks
