Melon loses a lot of flavor during cooking, so I add two sticks of cinnamon, 2g of vanilla, the juice and zest of one lemon, and a small glass of rum added halfway through cooking; it's much better. The same recipe works for pear preserves, adding whole pepper and saffron. -

Good, but without more. Not bad but too watery, and yet I did evaporate the water well, then I was disappointed. I don't know; my friend didn't like it either, but I have a friend who loved it. Mixed reviews! -

The weight of the melons So, to address the two opinions on my melon jam recipe, I will add that you need a packet of pectin for 1.5 kg of melon. -

Too liquid when using a kilogram of cut melon for a kilogram of sugar! I find my jam "failed," I will make it again using 800 g of melon for 1 kg of sugar, I think it will be a bit thicker. The one that is liquid, I will use it in plain yogurt or cottage cheese! -
