This simple pickle is a great way to minimize your food waste and tastefully use the scraps leftover from your watermelon. It’s a great addition to a salad, sandwich, or as a condiment for cheeses.

- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons agave, or other sweetener of choice
- 5 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
Instructions
- Remove the green outer skin from the watermelon rinds and put into a large mason jar or other sealable container.
- Combine all the remaining ingredients and add to the jar. Shake and store in the fridge for up to 3 months.
