[@irairod5160]

I made this and it's fantastic! So you can quickly figure out if you have all the ingredients for the brine, they are: 1-1/2 cups (each) of water, apple cider vinegar, and sugar; 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 3 tablespoons Kosher salt. These measurements gave me exactly enough brine for 2 quarts with about half an inch of headspace. I'm planning a "picnic for 2" for the 4th of July and we will very much enjoy these watermelon pickles. Much love and honor to the memory of Mr. Shotgun Red!

[@blondecat666]

Greetings from Hungary! I love pickled grinds, The way we do it here, is to boil salted water, (1 liter - 1 tbs salt), cool it down. Put fresh dill, 2 cloves of garlic, couple of black peppercorns and some mustard seeds in the jar, put the cleaned grinds in (I usually leave them in long stripes, resembling cucumber stripes) and leave them in a cool, dark place to ferment (usually 2-3 days). You have to let the gases out from time to time by unscrewing the top, maybe once a day. Then it goes to the fridge, lasts for about 2 weeks, unless it's consumed earlier! :-) I will definitely try this version, too. Thank you!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Sounds great!!!

[@sroberts605]

@blondecat666 That sounds delicious - what do you typically eat them with? And by grinds, do you mean same as used here, watermelon rinds?

[@emeyers5984]

🍉I grew up eating pickled watermelon rind. We made it with boiled sugar water, touch vinegar, whole cloves, allspice berries and cinnamon sticks. Then we processed the jars. They were ready when the rinds were translucent and had a green cast to them. We also scraped all the red off. We either ate them right out of the jar or with cheddar cheese and crackers. 😋😋😋

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Food memories are great!

What a lovely guy. A real gem. I had never watched a cooking session in my life by anyone, and by chance, in looking for something else, I came across this video. Suffice it to say that I found Steve's personality to be unbelievably endearing. He was absolutely hilarious and super friendly and explained everything so clearly. I'm not a cook by any stretch of the imagination, but I WILL be following his recipe for pickled watermelon as soon as I buy my next watermelon. As for his passing, which I found out by reading the comments below, it really touched me, despite having just "met" him 30 minutes earlier. What an injustice. A wonderful human being like that, who gave so much pleasure to all around him, to die way too early in life, when there are so many evil people in this world who live to a ripe old age, and do nothing but make other people's lives miserable, and revel in it.

I love anything pickled, so I can hardly wait to try this! BTW, if you and Sheila like salt on your watermelon, you should try sprinkling Tajin on it. It's salty, spicy and has a hint of sour. Yummy!

Thanks for the tip! Steve passed away Dec 2018

[@Rin-bi1st]

I used to watch the show all the time. I really do miss the guy. He has such a great channel!

[@turbopokey]

Have tried, can confirm, IS AWESOME!! 🤩👍 Recommend leaving it alone for around 2 weeks in fridge before starting to snack on it.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for sharing

[@christopherfowler8452]

Never thought to slice a watermelon this way. It makes so much since.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

He really knew how to cut one up!

[@insanejughead]

I watched this years ago, not long after being published. My girlfriend and I made this, AND LOVED IT! Soon I'll make it again. Red's legacy will live on!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Fantastic!!!👍😊

[@dianeboston1821]

Do ya know if ya can Can it? Would water bath make it mushy?

[@simones.8732]

Excited to try this! I tweaked the recipe slightly based on my taste/what I had. Can't wait to taste it in a couple days! 😊

[@Akalhar]

Sorry for you loss Miss Sheila. He seemed to be a very kind man. Praying for you today.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thank you kindly! :)

[@ernieohland8203]

This looks like a recipe that I have always hoped to find. I like watermelon and have always hated throwing the largest portion of the fruit to the garbage. I like to try new foods and this pickle is now going onto my menu.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Hope you enjoy

[@Mrs.Crawford2014]

My granny made these but no peppers, as a child this was candy for us! So yummy

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Grannies make great food memories!

[@karenarmstrong9679]

[@judyrobertson9479]

I remember my grandmother making these about 70 years ago. I haven't heard of them since. I am making these. Thanks, I subscribed because I can't wait to see what else you do.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for subbing! When Steve passed away he had done 307 recipes. Almost 400 now. Grandma's can leave us with great memories!

[@automaticnostatic2148]

I have tried other recipes for this and they were horrible. THIS one on the other hand is SPOT ON! Thanks so much Red for the great recipe! Say hi to Sheila for me, seems like a sweetheart

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

You are so welcome! This is Sheila! Hello to you! Thanks for watching!

[@joeydoesthings4955]

Seems like a sweet man who loved his wife! I never knew pickled watermelon was a thing, I gotta try it this summer.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

You should! Thanks for watching!

[@vernareed2692]

Oh yes pickled watermelon rind was pretty common in older generations,along with tomato preserves,cantaloupe preserves,pickled peaches,course pickled pigs feet,eggs,& most all other vegetables or fruits.

[@aliciamangar1513]

@@vernareed2692 pickled Cantaloupe? Never heard of that either!! Which part of it do you pickle and is it for a desert?

[@reneconly3672]

Growing up, we had watermelon rind perserves...sweet crunchy; not spicy. Miss them !!💋💋💘💘

[@MTTRON]

Watermelon rind is actually very good for you also!

[@qualitylife9359]

Oh my goodness. He seemed like a wonderfully happy man. I love how Sheila and he worked together.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thank you!!!! :) That is sweet!

[@louf7178]

I can't believe I never realized this is how the iconic watermelon slice is made!

[@carolperkins8344]

Always wanted to make this but no recipe when I was young and working! Now I am old and in shut down with the corona virus going on, so been checking out ALL your pickling recipes. So soon as I can get out of "LOCK DOWN" and get to a store, making your tilapia and eggs and this one, thanks for all your wonderful recipes, always good stuff! would like to get a peek at Sheila one in a while!

[@fishfire_2999]

How does the lockdown work? Can you only go to store in certain days or how is it ?

[@polarxena]

My grandma used to make these, I remember tasting clove in it🤗

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

That's awesome

[@patrishathomas8078]

I was so inspired by watching this video that I made my first patch of pickled watermelon rind today. Blessings to you and Mrs Shelia!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Wonderful! Blessings back to you as well! :)

[@gloriadulan-wilson1076]

My grandmom and mom used to pickle watermelon rind. They also pickled Okra - I never learned how to do either, so I'm glad there's a recipe for this. I loved them as a kid.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

They can make great food memories!
