pickling and preserving..... - Page 2

cool thanks tincook

so it would only really keep for a couple of days then, what kinds of things would you use it for

its not something we use over here, have heard about but thats about it

They're mainly used as jams or spreads. They'll last a long while in the fridge due to the sugar content and they are canner's dream.

You can do a lot with them aside from spreads. A couple of recent examples that come to mind:
-Swirling it into cake batter. Make's a kickbutt coffecake
-Added a dollop to a sauce for roast pork.

As for the watermelon pickles, they came out well. If I can figure my camera and the forum, I'll post some pics.

Next project, Indian style lime pickle.

so cant wait for summer

and watermelons are in season to try this it just sounds gorgous, and i love watermelon its one of my favourite fruits ,, so i get to enjoy the watermelon and the rind as well
