Thank you. This is the way my Aunts' made pickled watermelon. They kept the outer part of the watermelon on, and it was good.
After all this time I really miss Bexar pepper. Still rewatch her videos and use her recipes
Im up here in upstate NY trying to get up the nerve to start Canning. Love some encouragement from you wonderful old timers.
Do it. Its well worth the trouble. My late husband and I started canning in 2009-12. He died in 2013. I ate the canned foods for 4yrs. It saved me a lot of money.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your is the first recipe I found that doesn’t peel the outer skin off the rind. I knew it was edible and I really wanted color. I also wanted to can these instead of lacto fermenting. And you’ve inspired me to make pie filling and mini pies too! Thank you again for putting so much work into your videos :)
My mother told me how her mother made these and I never inheireted a recipie, my mom never knew how, and no one I ever asked ever knew of them at all! SO glad you made this! I have been looking for how to do this for years!
I just love watching your videos I'm almost 60 I come from a long line of women who can my mom didn't but my grandma did and I'm super excited and getting my gear together just do canning you're a great inspiration thank you so much
Grandma used to make watermelon pickles. Great harvest and preserving. Thanks!
Used your recipe for my first watermelon pickles. I peeled it first. It is a huge hit!!! Submitted a jar to the state fair! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and know how.
Won First place at the Alaska State fair with your recipe!
Roni Lanier I'm gonna look that up

I just made this tonight and it was fantastic! That flavor was awesome, I never knew watermelon rind could taste like that from the little piece I ate before canning the rest. I was able to make six pints with the amount of rind I had while using the 4 cups of vinegar and 8 cups of sugar like the video. I should have been making this with the rinds for years. I will from now on.
Thank you for this video. I made my first batch of watermelon rinds and they came out great!
I love the flavor of clove; your recipe sounds clovalicious! Gonna try it!
This recipe is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you.
I am doing this! My grandmother used to make these. She was so angry when the watermelons were developed to have thinner rinds. Great vid.
Thank you for posting this. I was just talking to my uncle about how my mom use to make these years ago, and wondered how she made them. I just checked my email and saw your update.
I always wanted to do something with my rinds but never thought to pickle them. I'll definitely be trying this next season. Great video, as always.
Love your canning recipes! Thank you!
Love these my grandma used to make some every year!
Everybody seems to peel the rind all the time, I had no idea you could leave it on! Thank you for this.
Cool! Also I cook these recepes:

My great grandmother & grandmother used to make these, never had a recipe, they just dumped stuff in the pot lol, Now I have one Thanks so much.
I believe this may be a depression recipe.
I like your little pies, so cute and yummy looking
Very nice. I've done watermelon pickling but didn't know to leave the green rind on. I only would use the white. Lol. So much easier not having to peel it.
You are adorable! thanks for all the info, I will never throw away watermelon rinds anymore!
I have got to try these.. sounds yummy! Thanks BexarPrepper!
OMG>>>You work fast...LOL. Never had these. Going to try them this summer. Thanks
Those pies are gorgeous!
I love watermelon rind pickles! Thanks!
I've never heard of watermelon rind pickles and I think it's a pretty cool idea if it tastes good. That'd be one way to reduce food waste.
Thank you for this video! I've never made these with the peel on I've always peeled them. Will try your recipe next time since peeling takes forever.
Pickled watermelon , Great idea ! , you could also grate white rind of watermelon in yogurt add lime garlic and dill and salt for a dipping sauce .
THANK YOU THAT SALT TIP. i HAVE BEEN USIN REGULAR SALT WITH MY FISH AND IT DID TURN WATER CLOUDY!
Great Video Daphne Cotton.INCREDIBLE NICE! ●Castano BROWN FAMILY. 💜
Maybe you will see this?? No cinnamon sticks so I used a tablespoon of ground. Hope for the best!!
Oh I was waiting for this. My watermelon is gone. But there will be a couple more. Yeah know. I luv this kind of stuff. I have tasted watermelon pickles before. Gotten from farmers markets and bought from Amish/Mennonites. Great way to use up ALL the watermelon. Pickles, watermelon jelly and even slushies. YEAH!
Love the recipe, love your voice,, do another video, showing your face
Looks great! I'll have to try the rind pickles!
OMG, I am making some pickles the next time I get a Saline watermelon!
New sub. I just made watermelon pickles, making candy now. The Lil pies are so cute. A good idea. Please do the pie filling. I'm going to binge watch.
Awesome video! Thanks!
Editing a tad off lol but another great video, have you ever combined the watermelon with a lime pickle?
this is great! thank you. my gma used to make these. im making this. thank you!
This is so interesting, thank you for the video. What is the purpose of adding the cloves, pepper and cinnamon to the boiling water and vinegar mixture while processing? Does this somehow get into the jar and add flavor?
Lol, whomever edited the video got it out of order. The vinegar sugar brine is pored over the cubes before sealing, and put in the water bath.
I noticed that you didn't peel it; does it taste ok with the peel on?
Thank you so much for the tip on the 'Salt Saturation' Point of Water & I understand how you can tell you have too much Salt to Water, but is there an way to know when you don't have enough Salt in your Water?
over filled means yummy lol good job
Is the green rind tough? I have never seen a recipe for watermelon pickles with the green left on. Is there a big difference?
Are you in Bexar county Tx?
Great stuff ! Keep up the good work ! 8)
I wish you would show us how. I got my husband a thornless blackberry bush a few years ago. So if you could show me how to do that I know my husband would love it.
txs Linda
Why do you put the spices in the water when your processing the jars?
She doesn't ... it's a sequencing issue ... I hope not too many people interpreting it that way 🤣 they'll have ants in their pantries!!
lololllllzz 2:05 "so it's the next morning...." aw sounds like she needs more coffee🤗
I have about 6 watermelons. Can I freeze the rinds till I'm ready to use them?
No they will be soggy pickles but you can brine them and drain put in mason jar in water in fridge for up to 3 weeks then bring to room temp then process but its easier to just get them done all at once. Bleesings
BexarPrepper lov
My mom use to blanch and freeze her watermelon rine but they were inferior to that of fresh, not frozen. Come January and 5' of snow, they did taste pretty good! My dad and I fought over them at the dinner table! hehehe
Cant wait to try these, can you use cinnamon powder if you dont the sticks?
yes
I've made watermelon rind pickles, but never thought to keep the hard green rind on. Do they ever soften up?
Good question. I tasted mine after the boiling process and they were tough a .....
I hope they soften up. The white part was delicious however🙂
Hi! I'm getting ready to make watermelon pickles tomorrow (hopefully!) The recipe says peeled but your don't look peeled to me - are they or aren't they? I've eaten pickled watermelon since I was a kid (now I'm pushing 60 ☺) I love your videos - they are so interesting I can't wait to dive in and try them all! Thank you, God bless! Susie aka cooknwoman
What is canning salt ? Can sea salt be used ?
What is the shelf life?
i cant wait to try this
Possible leather with the solids
These are hella good. It makes me blue to think of all the wasted watermelon rinds that weren't made into pickles. :'(
D5quared91 im making them tonight....hopefully they come out ok
Those are some nice pies :]
your little pies look awesome. I hope I can catch up and can as well as you do:-) BTW - what type of pan did you use to cook the mini pies in?
My Mom really liked these pickles, but I can not get past 6 cups of white sugar.
The idea me, lol - times have changed relative to diet.
You don't have to remove the rind! These are the best! I made mine SOUR... not sweet
Yummy
Yum!!! My Mommy LOVES pickled watermelon rind!!! But for ME, I'll take your pies any day! *wag, wag, wag...*
wtf
Anyone know what ever happened to BexarPrepper? She has not uploaded a video since 2014.
I dont understand Why you have to add all that to the end just to get it to seal?
Can you use stevia instead of sugar?
I am no expert, but in my Ball canning book, will state, for example, "6 cups sugar or sweetener of choice".
Thanks !
vivian mitchell yes you can also make it low sugar use your taste buds to make it the way you'll like it. Blessings!
Thank you very much.
My friend and I were gonna enter the challenge this June, but her house burnt down. Tip. Don't have all your prepping things in one place! Now they rebuilt and we are planning all kinds of things.
Stick with Stainless steel or glass to make sure you have non-reactive containers...
what do they taste like?
+Auntie M : I guess they would taste something like pickled cucumbers. I've never hear of this before but and willing to try this recipe. (;
taste like?
You leave the green on most don't....have you always done this??🤔
At 4:32 in the video you say "2 tsp of peppercorns but below the video in your recipe it calls for 1 tsp whole peppercorns...
She doubled the recipe
Your recipe says to peel the rinds but your rinds in the video
La scorza non è assolutamente indigesta, perciò come per tutte le altre cucurbitacee, del frutto si può mangiare tutto, dai semi fino alla scorza. Ottima se preparata come i cetrioli in salamoia, ossia pickles. L'ideale sarebbe bollirla in zuppe come si fa tradizionalmente in diversi paesi asiatici.
so I better not wear my tinfoil hat while canning? lol.
so you leave out measurements and ingredients
Salt's a base by the way, but yes, high acid or high alkaline will corrode or mess with reactive bowls.
Salt is a base sweetie, opposite of acid. But maybe you mean corrosive
Use glass
(Continued) rinds in the video are not peeled. Please comment.
Just sent a FRQ on FB ...
great video, but salt is a corrosive.
This is witchcraft!
You need to give up smoking
