Unexpected Twist: Pickled Watermelon Rinds Taste Test!

[@lauravaneaton3704]

I just wanted to share how much I enjoyed watching your wonderful son Cayden working with Paw Paw ...even if he was getting paid ...you have established a great work ethic...and a respect for his gpa ...how he speaks to him and more etc...

[@tabathahagan6913]

Very much agree.... He is a great grandson

[@tabathahagan6913]

Loved the video, yes ole' Uncle Dan would love to bail on that one....❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@marycrisco]

I like apple cider vinegar over the other vinegars.

[@steveberdie7745]

Norma here. These taste tests are so much fun to watch and you just never know who will like what. I knew for sure that Jami would like it. Bri and Lou surprised me. I thought that Lyssa would really like it and that Jake wouldn’t. Kim is too funny. She really hated it. Even Paw Paw and Gigi liked it. Ben was okay with it. It was good to see Lester and Jami actually participating. I guess you figured that LE and Megan wouldn’t want to participate. All in all including both of you, Lou, Jami, Paw Paw, Gigi, Bri and Jake really liked them. It was a success.

[@LeenaW]

Great video of the fam. On a separate note, I watched Cayden helping out Pawpaw and I just have to praise you and Buddy for raising such amazing kids. I cannot say enough good things about Cayden. My God! What a well mannered young man. Kudos to the parents & younger generation bunch at the Morrow Hill. Southern hospitality at its finest!❤❤❤

[@TheBuddyd]

Thank you so much Leena!

[@samettaathalone5870]

It’s so refreshing to see such a respectful young man. Great job parents!

[@susanmeyer3674]

What about Lester, Jami, LE, and Megan

[@TheBuddyd]

@@susanmeyer3674 Hi Susan. Lester and Jami were in the video. Hopefully on the next taste test LE and Megan will be available to try them as well 😁

[@lindahensley5711]

I absolutely love Lou, she’s honest and sweet. Such a beauty lady inside and out. Ooo, Steph and buddy how about making a strawberry, pickled watermelon salad with those along with a spring mix and raspberry vinaigrette??? Yummmmmy.

[@dianajones7895]

Love love love when you have Morrow Hill try your recipes!! The reactions are so pure. Kudos to Ben for escaping his comfort zone! 😂❤

[@littleredhen]

My grandmother used to make sweet pickled watermelon rind. She'd collect the rinds from the watermelons from our 4th of July family picnic - fruit was served rind free- and next day she was making sweet pickles/ Bread and butter pickles from the rinds 🍉 🍉 🎺. Something sweet and a taste of summer 🏖 come winter! ❄

[@nada7.077]

Kim’s face!! 🤣🤣 So proud Ben actually tried the pickled watermelon rind! Good job Bennett! I think you have a winner! I really like my Granny’s pickled watermelon rind but she used a bread and butter recipe and no chili pepper flakes or peppercorns, and sliced the watermelon rind length ways like pickle spears. You did really good Stephanie! ❤️🙏

[@christineprobst3258]

Im glad Jami and Lester got involved this round! Im not surprised Lester didnt like it. 😂 Good sport Lester, Kim and Lyssa.

[@Mandsb69]

Buddy your mum is hilarious 😂😂😂 Being English we love out pickled eggs, some people have no taste 😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@courtneyw6378]

😂😂😂😂

[@carlamorris5410]

Love these videos. Would love to see LE and Megan get in on the tasting video series. It was awesome seeing Lester and Jami do the tasting together!

[@christinekislauskis5144]

I just ❤ your taste testing with the whole family!

[@sharonskebeck7150]

Kim's review is priceless 😂😂😂..She don't hold back,which is why we ❤LOVE her so much😊.

[@sylviabrown7225]

Kim is right Buddy she has proudly earned the title of MOM 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@lilninemiles6066]

I wonder if Gigi was thinking about candied watermelon rinds? I made watermelon jam once. It was pretty good on biscuits; had a delicate flavor. I love these Morrow Hill Taste Tests! They are a hoot!

[@ileanaflorea5020]

My mom used to make watermelon rinds jam and pickled watermelon in brine. It was delicious. Great, great memories!

[@trudiharmon7640]

Bless your poor mum her reaction was hilarious I was surprised as she likes most things. Great video seeing how everyone felt and thought. Have a great weekend. Stay cool and God Bless. 🙏💕

[@janinepennell2130]

Taste testing, fun videos! Love all the different reactions!🤗💖

[@lisamyers8407]

Jami’ suggestion of being serviced on a Charcuterie Board is on point.

[@vanessamarie1582]

I think taste testing videos are becoming a favorite of mine! Keep working on Dan! Kudos on getting Lester to try it. I'll never forget the one-time Jami got him to try rhubarb, it wasn't pretty😂

[@karensevers6397]

The old fashioned ones we made had no red on them and were extremely sweet. Almost candied.

[@karensevers6397]

They had cinnamon cloves and ginger

[@irenejerzygirl27v18]

Buddy I didn’t think your Mom was going to swallow it. She is too funny 😂

[@lindajames4122]

I love the taste test videos and the food challenges.I also think Cayden is a well mannered young man. I think it is great how some of you help your grandfather/father. On another note, have you ever made jambalaya.

[@ashleigh6152]

Both Lester's and Jami's body language at first were equally hilarious! 😂 They looked like the were about to observe a dead body or something! 😮😂❤ 🍉 🥒

[@thedenmanhomestead]

😄

[@carriemccormack3117]

I love Kim’s reaction and discription🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@brendawhitley911]

Yep, Daniel owes you another gift !! 🤣🤣

[@theresauhlenhake6962]

Love the taste test video’s. Kim’s reaction was priceless

[@susanneal3780]

Lester really knows how to do a video. Loved everyone's reactions. I think I would like it. I have made a watermelon rind jam. Would be glad to share the recipe if you like.

[@marywillaby6663]

I grew up eating watermelon pickles! All of the watermelon was cut off up to the rind. It was like a sweet pickle and it was on our Holiday tables with other pickles. All summer long we saved the rind for mom and grandma to can them.

[@deannamccloud1129]

It's always fun to watch kim squirm😂

[@stevie4641]

How fun you guys! Kim's reaction (and comment) was priceless!

[@SugaMoma66]

😂😂😂😂😂 I want to see LE snd Megan's reaction.

[@lalousiane7118]

We've never pickled watermelon we make watermelon rind preserves, which if you like preserves you'll love. But, I love pickled eggs, but we only put white vinegar, salt & pepper, but not the rinds. Exactly Gigi, the preserves are thick & sweet. 💜👍

[@jdcolle]

Now you can add LE and Megan to your taste testing. Love your experiments !! Kim was hilarious!!

[@naomigedeon7867]

Love the taste test videos. I think I would love those. I have a lot of stomach issues due to all the meds I am on the pickled things seem to do so good on my stomach. On a side note Cayden is one awesome young man. You guys are great parents. Love to see him working with pawpaw

[@BethJoh544]

Lester is so fussy! 🤣

[@sandyl4100]

Proud of Ben and Lester trying it. You two have a good thing going with your "Tasting on the Hill" series! 🤌

[@beckystone7994]

I think they would be great in a salad snd as a side with beans snd cornbread like chow chow is great with beans and cornbread or even fried cabbage and cornbread with the pickled watermelon rind! And I think it will taste totally different if you use white vinegar snd more sugar in your brine ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈

[@karenbarnes5517]

I love how you get family to try your canning surprises!!! I’ve never had myself ! Stephanie great job 👏🏻

[@lizregan1949]

Love love love taste test with family. Poor Kim.

[@ruthgustin9687]

I would LOVE to see you make pickled onions. Jami said on one of her videos she LOVES onions. Love your challenges.

[@FromSuitstoBoots]

This is what I want for Christmas lol. A jar of these 😊

[@thedenmanhomestead]

You got it! ❤️

[@christyh127]

Buddy's living on the edge, "bye kim" 😂😂😂😂

[@thedenmanhomestead]

😂

[@MoonBabyNails]

I loved this! One thing I learned from both sets of my Grandparents, is that they NEVER let anything go to waste. This was the sort of thing they did to insure everything was eaten. Thanks for sharing. TTYL, my friends. ~~~~Tina

[@ruthmcclellan2073]

Watermelon rind pickles are wonderful.

[@deborahgarner5464]

I like all these taste test…and to hear the different opinions is fun. Kim is hilarious and Jake surprised me with his review.

[@karencosentino1029]

That was interesting, I thought Jake was going to be the one not to like it. He went in for more. Cayden is a very handsome young man!! I love how everyone gives it a try!! 🍉💝🙏

[@nancysanders3806]

Should try the candied watermelon rind or watermelon preservers. Many of the items you have tried are the things I grew up with and have not thought about for years. Keep it going. Thanks for the fun.

[@peggycoleman7506]

I've had pickled watermelon rinds before and loved them. The only difference is mine weren't spicy and were cut in long strips like a pickle spear.

[@lynncolantuono668]

These taste testing videos on the Hill have been lots of fun

[@brendagoodspeed443]

I love pickled Anything..so I KNOW I’d like these pickled Watermelon 🍉 rinds!🤗

[@tracyfrazier4278]

Absolutely LOVE these videos. My mother used to pickle everything she could get our yards and gardens to grow. Favorites were dandelions, onions, green beans. Dont know how she did it but she even made a chowchow with wild honesuckle. Clover jelly, garlic jelly, honeysuckle jelly. She was canning crazy

[@normamay3731]

I love pickled watermelon rinds.

[@carolburgell9973]

My grandma's pickled watermelon rind was as sweet as candy. Only a very special treat. The rind of 1 watermelon.

[@helenjubert4744]

I love just about anything pickled, including eggs.

[@justinefeist1864]

Thank you, Buddy and Stephanie 🥰 Would white wine vinegar work for the water melon 🍉 or could you make it into more of a chutney with some other fruit/vegetables ❓️ Have a wonderful day, guys 🥰🥰

[@kaseybridges5184]

Ooh,i like the chutney idea 👍 i bet that’d be good 😋

[@lindahipp8329]

Looks like another hit except with Kim. I've never had it before. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@DannaK247]

My grandmother used to make these. I remember her telling us to save our rinds once we had eaten the inside fruit. They're very tart. Her's were great! Not saying yours aren't. I think it's a matter of ones taste.

[@Cathiekjol]

That was fun. You should get LE and Megan in on these taste tests. I’m curious to see how brave they are! 😂❤

[@Gramma-maryx9]

I love these taste test videos….good job😊

[@Sheilabug26]

Stephanie I wish you would try making the watermelon preserves and have everyone try them ❤

[@deborahpalmer3785]

Loved everyone but waited

[@shirleylipscomb6212]

love Kims comment...Bennett is adorable, good job pawpaw and GG... Lou is original .. bree seems to always expect something nasty , then is surprised.....jake was spot on and Lyssa I adore her I won't be taking another taste.. hahahaha... caydens review was neat .. lester works himself up .. i liked jami's response ... Y'all are so cooool

[@sharondebruin498]

I have made watermelon pickles for years and everyone that has has them really liked them. I have made mine different than yours as after the brine was put on them they stand in the brine on the counter for several days being stirred each day. Also has cinnamon and gloves in the brine so they are a sweet pickle almost like a trea t instead of a pickle. Family would grab them out of the brine on the counters before they were ready to be put in the jars and into the waterbath.

[@albertarose1433]

I loved this video! My Mom made award winning pickles including watermelon pickles! She was a very good cook all around but her pickles were the best! ❤

[@retiredandsassy]

I think there needs to be a Morrow Hill ladies day where they all get together and pickle something, let it ferment and come back together for a taste test. Of course with adult beverages, that always makes it better and funner(as Lester would say).

[@joannottens1947]

My grandmother made pickled watermelon and they were to die for. Bread and butter sweetness all the way.

[@josephineshaw6600]

You need Jami and Lester to try it with Dan. Lester and Dan would be hilarious!!!!

[@edierice5233]

Kim was hilarious 😂

[@sarahjaneyoung8566]

That was great from your mom wanting to spit it out to Jami munching down on them. Liked that you put peppercorns and chili flakes in them my family always made them a bit on the sweet side.

[@amandamorse6900]

I've made candied watermelon rinds before and loved it. I shaved the green skin and left some red, boiled in sugar syrup (2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup water) until fully soft. Can eat in syrup or drain and dry then toss in sugar

[@karenbarnes5517]

Hi 👋 Buddy and Stephanie and Family 🎉❤

[@SusanHayes-vx2dq]

LOVE the John Wayne shirt!

[@laurienowak4203]

😂😂😂😂lester from the beginning. Lol ....why are you taking so many out!😂😂😂

[@ccj3355]

I can' help but be concered how they were made.

[@bonnieplastow7018]

Lol, love your Mom (Kim)!!

[@sharondoner439]

Hi Stephanie , Buddy and family I love it when you go around and having the family taste test stuff it's pretty cool maybe you can think about other things to have them do God bless keep up the great videos catch you on the next one❤❤❤❤

[@Lori32MK]

I love how crisp they are. Interesting change to try.

[@kristolphillips1000]

Love pickled watermelon

[@nita512001]

Like I said my Grandmother made these. I really liked them.

[@Notyamom]

Kimchi everything. Pickling people ! ✝️🤟🏼

[@karencuster6030]

Another great video ! Love the family food tasting !

[@donnacrane6944]

You guys got kim she a sweet lady and so talented

[@BethMcGowan-sk1wf]

These family taste tests are so fun to watch! 🍉🥒🥴😣😋Is it about time for another pickled-something test there?👏😋

[@galady8632]

Those looked tasty! Your taste tests are so much fun. A glimpse into another facet of 'life on the hill'. A friend made pickled cantaloupe rinds but I would be hesitant to dedicate time on that risky option. I never had spicy pickled watermelon rinds or any made with apple cider vinegar. We cut our watermelon into slices so it was perfect for sandwiches. It was great in chicken salad. (I often add sliced green grapes to chicken salad or chopped raisins so for me it seemed normal.) Maybe pickled jalapeños someday?

[@KarenFann2]

LOL yeah I remember you calling her Kim and her reaction lol I laughed so hard.

[@monicagibbs7265]

My mother and grandmother used to make watermelon rind preserves. They canned everything.

[@Fix.family.]

Birthday and Christmas shopping for Jake will be easy now pickled eggs and watermelon😂😂😂😂

[@mel49ers]

On my goodness never heard any one say that about watermelon pickles an have made many a pickle ! They are like a preserve an I like the ones like that are water melon persevere! Ingredients 4 pounds chopped watermelon rind 1 gallon water 1⁄2 cup salt 9 cups white sugar 8 cups water 4 teaspoons crushed cinnamon stick 4 teaspoons ground cloves 4 lemons - rinsed, sliced and seeded 1 dash red food coloring Directions Step 1 Peel off the green part of the watermelon rind, and slice into 2 inch pieces. Soak the rind in a solution of 1 gallon water and 1/2 cup salt overnight. Step 2 Remove rind from the salt water, and place in a stockpot with clean water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium- high heat, and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the rind is tender. Drain. Step 3 In a large pot, combine the sugar, 8 cups water, and sliced lemons. Tie the cinnamon and cloves into a cardamom on a double thickness of cheesecloth. Gather corners of cloth to enclose seasonings; tie securely with string. Add to stockpot. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until rind is clear, 30-45 minutes. Discard spice bag. Remove from heat. Ladle hot mixture into 6 hot sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot mixture. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight. Place jars into canner with water simmering, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process 5 minutes. Remove jars and cool.Buddy an Steph

[@gigidahl1664]

Love watching your family ❤❤❤❤

[@autumnhicks5141]

Love these taste testing videos with everyone! I would’ve thought Dan would’ve taste tested over Lester.

[@kp-ue3xn]

Yay, you got Lester and Jami to try..

[@jennytennant7176]

Stephanie I love your all of Morrow hill taste test. I really have no desire for the pickled watermelon rind but you have the inspired me to make some pickled eggs with beets. I grew up in a family that made the Morrows look small, that meant somewhere in the family had pickled eggs in a jar in the fridge. So thanks for the memory nudge. 😊

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

Stephanie, it is great fun that you pickle different things, bake bread etc! Even with mixed reviews! I like to try stuff too!

[@rickibelden986]

Childhood memories of mom's pickled watermelon......yummy Hers where not spicy but tastes like bread and butter pickles. I miss those.

[@suesherman8277]

Bet they were good. Watermelon picked in sweeter brine❤️ Compliments to your Wonderful parenting teaching young teen value of helping, working w/PawPaw. This is proper age for learning adult skills. What’s next on the pickling? I love pickled onions, cauliflower! Enjoyed your vacation to Tennessee- Alabama. Memorable moments ❤️

[@cm5901]

I Love Candied Watermelon Rinds. So Good!!

[@christinainyeg]

That sounded so ominous “Who’s next?” Hahaha.

[@nicolerimmer360]

Kim's reaction. 😂😂😂

[@deannamccloud1129]

Wow Lester and Jami 😊

[@wandahopper2755]

My grandma Hill made pickled watermelon rinds every year. I loved them. Been years since I've eaten any. Yeah GiGi. My grandma did slice in long thin slices.

[@donnabac]

We use only the rind; no meat. Delicious!😁
