Watermelon Rind Pickles (Refrigerator Method) image

Don't toss that watermelon rind out. You can make these tasty pickles without fussing with canning jars and lids. Just store the product in a glass container in your fridge for up to 2 weeks (but they'll probably be gobbled up a lot sooner)!

6 cups watermelon rind, green and pink portions removed, peeled, cubed

These pickles are a bit too spicy for me. I think I would have preferred them if I had used less chili peppers.
