Pickled Watermelon Rind with Radishes

For this recipe, make sure that traces of the pink fruit are gone from the watermelon rind then cut away and discard the green peel, too. What you're left with are chunks of thick, white rind that definitely don't deserve to be thrown away. Use this pickle as a condiment on sandwiches or serve as you would a chutney with grilled meats.
