Pickled Watermelon Rind (Polish Version)
This is a recipe I found in my Polish Cookbook from Culinary Arts Institution. I haven't tried it myself, but found it interesting when I accidently ran across it the same evening I had just posted my own Watermelon Rind Pickle recipe in a discussion on the boards. If you decide to try it, please let me know what you think of it. Thanks!
