Foraging.... well kind of... Water melon rind pickles

Well if foraging is finding and using the often over looked.... maybe this will qualify.  I remember these from my childhood.  Mom was never one to let something go to waste... a hold over from the depression era... and watermelon rind was one of those useful things the people often threw out after eating the melon.  All I had to do was google a couple recipes and I was on my way.  I took out some of the sugar, added a little stevia and some heat ( red pepper ), and a bit more turmeric than called for, and I had a pickle that I loved.  Very pretty too.
