Wow this sounds cool, but I'm not a big fan of cloves. Maybe I could skip em?


Just read a chapter of Farmer Boy to my 3rd graders-and it spoke of making watermelon rind pickles. This sounded so foreign to them. I will have try this so we can experience it!


Thanks Ms.Jean,Now I really feel like a hick!!!
Just kidding. I'm glad you found an association to your lessons.This is a country recipe. But keep in mind not all farm boys know about watermelon rind. I hope they enjoy!!!
