About This Program

Watermelon Pickles

Any German Russian cook will be quick to tell you, REAL watermelon pickles are made from the flesh -- not the rind. The more familar Scandanavian version of watermelon pickles are made of the bitter white rind transformed into sweet pickles. The German Russian version of watermelon pickles take the sweet red flesh of the watermelon and spark it up with sour brine, lots of dill and the surprise of red-hot peppers.
