I've used this recipe for watermelon rind pickles and used bamboo. I have also used cantaloupe and gotten excellent results. This is also found on Recipebazaar in my cookbook. Just substitute tender bamboo shoots or 1" cubes of cantaloup (not rinds.)
Ingredients: 4 quarts prepared watermelon rind3 tablespoons pickling lime2 quarts cold water2 tablespoons whole cloves3 cinnamon sticks2 pieces gingerroot1 lemon, thinly sliced8 cups sugar1 quart white vinegar1 quart waterChange Measurements: US | Metric Directions: Prep Time: 0 mins
Total Time: 0 mins 1 To prepare watermelon rind: Trim dark skin and pink flesh from thick watermelon rind; cut in 1-inch pieces or as wanted.2 Dissolve lime in 2 quarts water, pour over rind.3 If needed, add more water to cover rind.4 Let stand 2 hours.5 Drain: rinse and cover rind with cold water.6 Cook until just tender; drain.7 Tie spices in a cheesecloth bag.8 Combine spices with remaining ingredients and simmer 10 minutes.9 Add watermelon rind and simmer until clear.10 Add boiling water if syrup becomes too thick before rind is clear.11 Remove spice bag.12 Pack, boiling hot, into sterilized mason jars, leaving 1/8-inch head space.13 Adjust caps and allow to seal.Read more: http://www.food.com/recipe/...z1FJwY7EGC
