Watermelon in Williamsburg by Christine Marx


I spent last weekend in North Carolina and stopped in Williamsburg on the way home. My daughter made reservations for a colonial dinner at the King's Arms Tavern and we were served sweet pickled watermelon rind. I have never heard of such a thing. It was delicious!! Now when I look at this painting I get hungry!!

Gorgeous painting, Christine - the texture of that watermelon is incredible! My mom used to make pickled watermelon rind, and it was always a favorite at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Might have to get out her old recipe and give it a try this Summer...

Thank you Kathy!

Thank you Claire! I would love to get your recipe. I bought a cookbook in Williamsburg that has a recipe and it calls for boiling and straining it twice. Does your recipe do that too?

Christine - I will have to check, and when I find the recipe I will send it to you. It was delicious.
