- a band of loosely organized criminals who thrived on the Gulf Coast and throughout the Deep South during the latter part of the twentieth century. Locals will recognize the story and those behind it. Others will be intrigued by these never before told tales of this criminal enterprise and its most sinister characters. Gambling. Robbery. Extortion. Even murder.

Oh Mary, this reminds me of the ones my mother made during the summer when we were kids growing up in Idaho. We ate a LOT of watermelon during the summer and she would make these. She also made them with red cinnamon candies so they were red and really sweet. I can almost taste them now. Might have to make some this summer.
Hey Bev! Well, it was my first round so next time I just might have to add those red candies and give that a try!! Sounds good. Be sure to let me know if you blog about 'em!!
Well, I do remember the backyard scene, but never had rind pickles...they look really good!!!!
I've always wanted to try pickled watermelon rinds. They intrigue me...thank you for the recipe!! And oh, cinnamon candies...good addition!
I saw a link to this on Tootsie Blog, my Mom used to make these. She died 22 years ago and I had given up that I would ever find a recipe, thank you for including this. My mom use to put red or green food coloring in hers. I can't wait to try making some.
What a wonderful recipe. Have you ever tried wrapping cubes of watermelon pickle with bacon? It was served as party finger food years ago and it was wonderful:-).
These are so good. I made them one year and haven't thought about them since. I'll have to get my canning thinking cap on!
Hi Mary, I was just going to ask if you had a recipe for the watermelon pickles made with redhot candies. My Ma-Maw made those for us every year. Those were my favorites. I just planted watermelon yesterday--I thought I had planted some earlier but I can't seem to find them!! Hopefully I have enough so I can make these for my kids. Sheila in NC
Mary, my grandmother made a Boiled Cucumber Salad. I recently obtained her recipe file and it was in there:
Boil cucumbers in salted water for fifteen minutes then mash; add cream and dash paprika. Hmmmm, I remember this but didn't remember it being cucumbers. Have you ever seen this?
now this is one thing I have never even heard of ! they sound very interesting..I might just have to try it!
It was fun making these Joyce and recalling those backyard memories!
Heather, they aren't hard at all, just time consuming since there are a couple of long soaks.
Awwww Betty. I lost my Mama too back in 1997 and I sorely miss her to this day.
Mary I haven't - but bacon? Hey, can't be bad, right?
Karen, better get busy making a batch LOL!
Sheila, I planted watermelon too - so far I have a few, that is if they stay safe from the critters!
Bev, not familiar with that one, but I'll try to remember to look into it for ya!
Tootsie, it was fun "creating" pickles out of watermelon rind!
ooh. . .I just got a canner for my birthday :) I'll need to try this!
I've always wondered how these were made. Thank you for posting this. What sweet memories!
My problem is when it comes to sweet pickles, well I love 'em right out of the jar. Easy to get carried away...
HI everyone, I to love the pickles and give it to my clients as a Chrismas Present. I have found them easy to peel if you use a vegetable peeler, after you quartered and cut out the fruit. This save about 3/4 of peeling time
