My great grandma in New Orleans made watermelon preserves sweet and a little spicy. We ate it with chicken and pork as a condiment...not on bread. Sweet tart goes well with poultry and pork.
Daddy was the family pickler he liked it chunky. He must have spent a lot of time in the kitchen with his grandmother back in New Mexico. Wished I had asked him more questions when he was alive, and we would sit at the kitchen table at 5 a.m. just he and I everybody else was still asleep.
My Aunt made it often. She is 99 years old and from South. Just as you said . Thank you My mouth is watering 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
I loved when Mr. Brown said "One of these days you're gonna make something I don't like", then laughed. Then you saying "You can see he just swallowed it down" LOL! So funny!
you all are just goodol folk Good Bless ya
You guys always add sunshine to my day ! Love watching you 💖☀️
Watching their channel is relaxing. Lori is such a quiet calming soul. ♥️
@@WilletteB Yes. She is a beautiful soul.
My mother always made hers chunky and it was delicious.
I've never had it before. Does it have a watermelon flavor?
My mom and grandma too
I use Truvia and it usually is 1/2 the amount of the sugar and it taste really good. God Bless thank you for the video.🐞🦬💕
Great video......the watermelon rind preserves looked yummy 😋. My mama would make preserves for us when we were growing up and I can remember her making them as I got older......she loved making jellies and preserves they were always so delicious 😋. God bless and have a wonderful and blessed evening........💞😊
You continue to amaze me, Miss Lori❣️ All the wonderful goodies you grew up with and pass on to us...thank you! Love the new clock, and thank Mr. Brown for always taste-testing for us; he is a trusted taster.😄
I loved making pickled watermelon rind and watermelon jelly and jam with my grandmother . Wonderful memories ..
Oh my, you read my mind! Yay 💃🤸♀️, going to make some this weekend, thank you Ms. Lori, appreciate it. You and Mr. Brown are almost like family. God bless you both!❤
Thank you Ms Lori. You have truly blessed my heart sharing your wisdom. May you and Mr Brown be showered with many blessings.
Amen!
Thank you, xoxoxo
I've never seen this for sale over this way, but it looks like a fun thing to make. I did make apple jelly just once (years ago when the children were small), It was quite the process, with straining the pulp through the jelly bag overnight etc..but oh my the flavour was so good. It's interesting that this recipe resembles that or even apricot !! :) I liked hearing your new clock too ! but especially just watching and listening to your peaceful videos. Blessings to you sweet friend x
My husband brought home two smallish watermelons. I was determined not to throw away the rind so I started looking up recipes after we got the rind cut up and put in bowls in the refrigerator. I remember an "adopted" aunt making these when I was a kid and they were so good. I've only made them once, but it was so long ago I don't know where the recipe is. I knew you would have a good one. I'm looking forward to treating my family!
I love this new to me channel. You two are precious. I can see why you are best friends. Thanks for sharing the watermelon 🍉 rind recipe. Sharing old ways makes me smile. 😊
Thank you, so kind, xoxoxo
I remember my grandmother making watermelon rind sweet pickles. Wish I had that recipe.
Terre Porter ...I made them with same ingredients as pickles, cold packed the watermelon chunks then poured syrup into the jars, added a cinnamon stick too! 🍉
There is a page with this man kin click that makes those.hope it helps.
Terre Porter There are lots of recipes on Pinterest.
@@lorenenoe4472 You didn't do them in a crock?
I like watermelon 🍉
But never tried the watermelon rind persevere.
My Gran made it but I wouldn't try it.
I am sure I missed out on a sweet treat of hers.
God bless you and Mr. Brown
OK, I made a larger, second batch, yielded 7 half-pints. I used a whole watermelon this time. For 12 cups diced rinds, I used 5 3/4 cups sugar, and the juice of a whole lemon. With my first batch, I forgot to add the cinnamon but I liked it really well. For this batch I used the 1 teaspoon cinnamon it calls for but I think I may cut it back to 1/2 teaspoon. Just a personal preference. And I used the candy thermometer on the pot as it was cooking down, took it to 220° and it is perfect! I have to say thank you for this recipe, I have had the most fun with it as you can imagine, making two batches inside of three days.
Thank you Ms Lori for sharing this and for all you do for us. Thank you Mr Brown for being our trustworthy taste tester- someone has to do it ❣️God bless you both 🥰
Thank you. I think I can do this one. I remember eating this preserves with thick rind bacon and biscuits. I loved it. I never could find a recipe easy enough for me to make it without forgetting something. I thank you so much
thanks for all you do, God is good, I am so glad you are doing this one, I just got my jars and can't wait to do this. Love you two.
Loved your ladle!!!! Too cute!!! Your sleeves were making me very nervous around your stove.
Such a bittersweet memory for me. I had just learned that my mom loved Watermelon Rind Jelly, so I kept searching for a recipe. Found the recipe a week after we lost her in a car accident. Never got to make it for her. After seeing this, i'd love to try it. Thank you for doing this.
My grandmother also made this, I will be making some with a little twist,. Im going to put a little bit of jalapeño peppers from my garden in it to have a little heat with the sweet. I made peach jalapeño jam a couple of months ago and my family went wild over it. Just a little heat not a lot. Thank you for the recipe and video. Be blessed.
So i just made a batch and accidentally put about 1/2 teaspoon of cumin (did not read the label 🙃) and 1 heaping teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Omgoodness!!! It turned out fantabulous!!! Yummy!! Thank you Miss Lori for a awesome recipe!!
We lived down south. My family raised cotton and watermelons. Mom always made watermelon rind preserves. Always. Very good
You look so pretty. I have learned a lot from you and this canning craft. I am new to the craft, though my mother was an avid canner. I now have 55 jars under my belt. All are delicious things. Please keep inspiring us.
Oh, we just love you guys! My man and I were watching and he said, ..."Mrs. B can make cardboard taste good!" Hahahaha. I was like, I gotta tell her. He said "Oh man, now Mr. B gonna hate me, she's gonna fix up some cardboard and say...'Mr. Brown, can you taste this for me?' " hahahahaha. I can't wait to try this.
I love your blouse. We heard your chirping clock. Can't wait to see it.
I’ve never had nor heard of watermelon rind preserves. My granny made watermelon rind pickles, which I love. It’s hard to get decent rinds to make those with now. Watermelons use to have a thicker rind, so it was easy to get thick enough pieces for the pickles. The preserves looked good.
You're new clock sounds lovely!
My Mom use to make watermelon rind preserves every year. Hers was chunky and not as pink as yours and no cinnamon. When you bet down on a chunk, it was light eating a piece of candied rind! They were delicious 😋
My Mom made Watermelon Rind Pickles .. she used alum and cut them into strips but the liquid set up like what your's looks like while you were canning ... and as you said they were so sweet BUT .. that watermelon rind was so crisp, they snapped when you bit them. The absolute best addition to chicken salad and ham salad between the texture/sweet but tartness. Have mercy I wish I had about a dozen jars. Thanks for the memories.
I grew up with this and we always left it chunky, haven't made it in a lot of years. Thanks this has brought back wonderful memories. This might be my Christmas gift to friends this year. Thank you!
That looks so good thanks for sharing have a blessed day Lori and Mr Brown God Bless ya'll🌻☀️🌻
My great-grandmother is who got me hooked on wm rind preserves. When she passed away I thought that was it, That I'd never have them again. Until many years later talking to my grandmother about them. She surprised me with a jar and, boy howdy, they were just like I remembered. The one and only thing she would ever tell me about how to make the preserves was to make sure to get all the pink off as well as the rind. I guess that makes sense because her and her mother's liquids were always clear. Looking forward to trying your recipe.
Clock sounds beautiful love chiming clocks, I have two in my house.
My mother made these when we were little. It was delicious. All her recipes she kept stored in her head.
“Good Stuff!!!”
Love y’all to Pieces!!!
❤️❤️
My Mother in law use to make watermelon rind pickles. They were so good. Hers were sweet. A lady a church use to make watermelon rind pickles that were different. Hers were very red and like hot cinnamon candy. We enjoyed both. Thanks for this recipe.
My dad was telling me about this! Can't wait to show him thanks for posting! 🙏❤️ God bless yall.
My Dad has mentioned it to me lately also. Maybe I can make some for him
That sounds good I'm going to have to make that when I get a watermelon thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes and your beautiful stories
LOL!!!! Praise and all Glory to God!!! Thank you, Lori! How beautiful! God bless y'all as well! Hugs from Texas!!! We are going home soon!!! Maranatha!!! New Subscriber here!
Warsh'em... love it! You sound just like my granny... bless her soul.
I use half erythrotol (swerve) and half monk fruit and I use it cup for cup as regular sugar. I have not done any preserves with it yet but I have made sweet pickles and they are great. We have been on Keto for a year and a half and there is no going back for us, we love it. Thank you for all your awesome recipes, I will be doing your relish this week. I use most ingredients and change others to fit our lifestyle. Have a great day. God bless.
We do keto as well, so far 3 1/2 years. I haven't make preserves or jam yet, but I did can some spiced/pickled peaches using Lakanto sweetener and they turned out really good. I want to try the watermelon rind preserves now!
Good to know. Thanks!
Just be sure to get the Sure Jell (pectin) for low or no sugar recipes.
Also remember sugar is a preservative so these won’t last as long as ones made with sugar.
I made some corn cob jelly the other day and was telling my friend about watermelon rind preserves. That’ll be my next project. My grandma used to make them and they are so wonderful on some hot fluffy biscuits. Thank you for sharing. I so enjoy your videos Miss Lori. God bless!💕🦋💕
Years ago I canned watermelon rinds in chunks with the green skin on, turned out like pickle chunks, not cooked down like yours, delicious! 🍉🍉 cold pack probably, cannot remember, just think I left the skin on...many years ago. 🍉
Good Morning 🌞, I'm going to have to try this🍉
My Mother-in-law . Use to make watermelon preserves . They were delicious. Thank you so much. For the recipe. Both of you have a wonderful day .
Oh Lordy Day! I love, love, love this stuff. Haven't had any for years, gotta make me some now. Thank you Lori, love your videos.
My Grandma made so many things I loved, including tomato preserves and ground cherry preserves. But, watermelon preserves is a new one for me. Of course, I have to try it! It looks delicious!
I’ve never heard or seen this before up in my neck of the woods. Great video!
The blouse You're wearing is so Beautiful
This looks SO good! Brings back sweet memories of better times. Stay safe!!🌈🌈🌈
My mama used lemon, sliced thin, in her preserves. It was so good I would eat the lemons before the watermelon or figs. Wish I could find her recipe, but think it was just in her head, like the fruitcake she made that was the best ever.
My mom's cousin gave me their grandma's recipe for pickled watermelon rinds and another for rind preserves, but I lost them. I hadn't gotten around to making them. I'm sure this came from a waste nothing era. Someone said its such a waste throwing all this rind away what can we do with it.
Aw, first time seeing your husband. What a sweet man.
I enjoyed this very much.
Mom always pickled the rinds. We just loved it. Just like candy.
I love watermelon rind preserves. Our Mother made this every summer and man o man how awesome. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Love your ladle.
Looks down right sporty!
Gotta try this. Looks delicious. And I love your home even tho I've only seen the kitchen. But when you love your kitchen, you love your home. 😊
I have heard of this but never took the plunge to try or make it. Didn’t want to waste time or ingredients on something I’d never tried, but now I will. Your recipes, like this one, are inspirational and in the current economic climate we are in resourceful is the name of the game! My pantry will have this! Thank you again for another wonderful recipe and video. 😊
I believe this is worth a try. My mom used to talk about watermelon rind pickles but she never made them. She told me they were delicious. Thanks miss Lori
Do you have a watermelon pickles recipe? I'd love to see it
My husbands grandmother used to make this back in the day,they lived through the depression. He loves it and always asks if I can find the recipe and make him some. Thank You !
Oh good! Hope he likes it! Xoxoxo
Good morning Miss Lori! How are u? I love ur blouse! That is sooo pretty!🙂 now. I have never had watermelon preserves.. how interesting.. I'm gonna have to do this! Thx for sharing.. and I hope u have a good day!🥰
Thank you Lavonne, xoxoxo
@@WhippoorwillHoller xxxooo😘
I don't see many people make these any more. My favorite since I was a tiny girl in the 50s. I make some every year. We don't add cinnamon and we leave ours chunky, but it nearly the same 🙂
We made a triple batch of this using your tutorial, worth all the effort! Thank you so much for sharing, I adore your channel Ms. Lori!
We grew up eating sweet watermelon rind pickles and they were like eating sugar cubes but really delicious. I’m going to try this!
My mother in law use to make watermelon syrup and she put it over fried dumpling. It was an old German recipe. I tried it once but it didn’t turn out like hers. It has to cook for hours to get thick so I probably wasn’t patient enough. Love watching your videos. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Hello Whippoorwill. I just found your channel today. Thanks a million for this recipe. I just finished using it to make a batch of Watermelon Rind Preserves. I loved your idea of using the immersion blender -- which I definitely did. I haven't tasted it yet -- but my whole house smells fantastic! I was all out of lemon, but I had some fresh cherries -- and I tossed just four into the pot after it had simmered for about an hour -- and crushed them with a spoon after they had cooked for a while. (Also removed the pits then, of course -- lol.) I was very, very happy with how much color the cherries added. I don't know how prices are in your neck of the woods -- but up here in Pennsylvania -- the cost of groceries has risen considerably. Your super recipe enabled me to use the rind of a small watermelon (which I would have thrown out) and some sugar and make about two pints of jam! So -- thank you again. JV
Thanks so much for sharing. My grandma made this all the time. She was from Mississippi, born in1910. Most people look at me like I’m crazy when I mention it. Grandma Trudie sliced it in slivers. What a sweet memory. Blessings to you ❤️
I've had and made watermelon rind sweet pickles. I'm looking forward to making the preserves! Thank you!
(I swear that I can smell them in Minnesota)
I have never heard of watermelon rind preserves before. I was always told as a kid not to eat the white part of the watermelon cause it would make you go to the bathroom. lol And now to look at this and it looks so yummy well thanks for sharing
My grandmother was from Missouri, east of Kansas City (I am a couple of years older than you, from what I can tell from your videos). She and I loved (Loved!) the chunky watermelon rind. I sometimes find it in the supermarket. It was green, whereas yours is more red. Yours looks lovely. Thanks for the memories. By the way, the local supermarket (Santa Fe, NM) had only one package of Ball quart jars yesterday (the Hatch green chiles have just arrived from the fields), and the steam and water canner apparatus is sold out everywhere online. If you are desperate, let me know, because I can check out some other stores. Thanks for the cooking guidance, and I hope you and Mr. Brown stay safe and well.
Thank you for your kindness, xoxoxo
I was just cutting up our watermelon this morning and hated to toss all the rind! So on to the interwebs I came to find a way to make something yummy! You never disappoint to have a great recipe at the ready! Thanks so much for sharing! God Bless!
Looks so good miss Lori lol I dont think you'll ever make anything Mr brown won't like😉👍💝
Nobody where I live knows about these preserves. They all think I'm nuts. LOL I remember eating this when I would visit my mammaw. She would ask ahead of time what I wanted to eat and this was always at the top of the list.
I’ve never heard of watermelon rind preserves. Fascinating. Thanks for the tutorial.
I love this idea. My nephew loves watermelon jelly so now I can make both at the same time. Thank you so very much.
I can’t wait until the watermelon come out now.
My mother made watermelon rind pickles and I make them now. Never thought of preserves. Will have to try that next. She was raised in the depression so I’m sure it was something her mother would have done too.
Yes
We were poor made due with everything!
Wow this bring bak good memories. I remember granny making these, were soo good I thought! TY 4 doing this recipe. God bless.
I may just have to make some of this wonderful looking sticky stuff. I especially love your well loved and well used wooden spoon too. Love all your videos, Lori!
I was reading the little house books with my kids and they made watermelon rind preserves. So I looked it up and watched your video and I am so excited cause now we won’t be wasting the rinds anymore!
That is awesome!
Thanks Ms Lori for sharing your recipe with us.. I have to try it. And with it being tart my grandkids will love it...
God Bless you and your family .
May all you touch prosper
100x over.
Lehmans had jars and lids as of yesterday..2 weeks out delivery. Thank you.. I appreciate you two.
Thank you for that information, xoxoxo
Never heard of preserves, but I have heard of pickled rinds, just never done them myself. I like to eat the rind because it tastes like cucumber, so I bet it would make a great sweet pickle pickled rind recipe! Lol. I had planned on trying it this year but we haven't even bought a watermelon yet believe it or not! I gave my mother in law 4 plants so we are waiting on hers to ripen!
I always think stuff like that too..Like who saw certain foods and thought, I'm gonna eat that..lol And how many people got sick or even died from eating stuff that was poisonous. I love your videos..I hope you guys are having a good week!!
Thanks for another recipe. I have spent time today watching your blogs I’ve wrote down about 4. I have 29 blooms in my watermelon vines and about the same on the cantaloupe. I only planted 3 seeds in each hill . I didn’t think they would produce that much. The place I live was a cornfield back in the day. When I tilled it this spring , the soil was like black gold lots of worms. I used no fertilizer. Where there’s a will there’s a way I will get all this abundance that I have been blessed with preserved. Wish me luck
Hope you get a big harvest!
Thank you ❤️
I have plenty of rine in the Ziploc. Tomorrow I add the sugar and rum 🙂😉. Then in goes all of it together, immersion cooking at its finest. Experiment underway. :)
The watermelons 🍉 we're picked from my Secret Garden a week apart. Stored the rind in the fridge. And now with the third watermelon being cut tomorrow 😹😊. I'm ready for my first place ribbon in the rind competition. :)
I hope.

My family never made anything with the rinds, and they grew them for market! I do know that the best watermelons I ever ate were grown by a little old man just outside of Evening Shade. He said he'd quit growing them when he got one that weighed as much as he did. He would pick all the little ones off the vine, leaving only one or two to grow. He also would wrap sugar water soaked rags around the vine. I don't know if it helped them grow, or helped sweeten his crop, but I do know they were DELICIOUS! I think I was 10 or 12 the last time I saw him, and that was well over 50 years ago.
We still have pictures of my dad and uncle and the gentleman, sorry I don't remember his name, standing or squatting beside some humongous melons. You're bringing back some good memories.
Cave city watermelon 🍉
Have had the watermelon rind pickle, It was greenish and tangy. As an Aussie I was not sure what it would taste like. But, I enjoyed it very much. Now I will have to make the preserve as it looks great too. Thanks Lori.
Oh my word! When Mr Brown said one day you would make something that he wouldn’t like, he sounds just like my husband!!!
Hey Girl💥you took my memories way back with this one.🔥I'll be making this very soon !!!! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO💖FROM KY
my grandmother used to do that and it was delicious.
I've never heard of watermelon preserves either . How about that ?!! It sure is pretty . I'm gonna share this with my family and friends on Facebook too . Thank you for sharing this with us . 😉🍉❤
This is my favorite preserve. I make it & pickles every year when I get a watermelon with decent rind on it. The pickles are good to use in homemade tartar sauce.
Thanks for this recipe. I made it and it is great. Have a family member allergic to apples who is so excited about this
My momma used to make these in the summer. I sure do miss her.
What a great idea...my husband said he remembers his mom and grandmother making different types of jams, jellies & preserves but never watermelon....this is why we love your channel...you are a wealth of knowledge on so many great recipes and ideas to try. Thankyou for all you share with us!! 🥰🍉
Thank you! Xoxoxo
I’ve never heard of watermelon rind preserves, looks delicious.
Your top is so pretty and I did hear the beautiful chimes.
Be blessed.
Thank you Gina, xoxoxo
Thank you for sharing this video! When I was a kid, my neighbor made watermelon pickles out of the rind. I tried making them a few years ago, but they didn't taste or look like hers. I've noticed the watermelon rind isn't thick as it used to be. My mom has bought a few watermelon this year, but the rind was too thin for pickles. If she gets another, I will try your preserves recipe.
