I even threw in some cut up unripe Orangeglow watermelon.. Yes, I said unripe! I picked it before it was completely.. well, ripe. What can I say, It was creamy white on the underside and a few of the tendrils on the vine were turning brown. I thought it was close to at least being ripe and it is almost September.. I had a craving..At least it was not my largest melon. But, after cutting it open I was disappointed to still see it was pale. Not even close to being orange. Sigh... But I cut a slice and tasted it, just to be sure.. It was pleasantly refreshing. No.. it did not have that great Orangeglow tropical watermelon flavor that I know and love so much. But, it was refreshing, and I did not want to waste it, so.. I chopped up the fruit and tossed it in the stockpot with the green tomatoes.. No waste!!
