Melon Jam: the easy recipe
No Reviews
The jam that we enjoy making together. Delicious on a slice of toasted and buttered bread.
Ingredients
3 Peeled, seeded, and cut into pieces melon.
1 clove Vanilla
15 Lemon juice
2 Gelling sugar 1 for 3
Directions
1
Blanch your jars, cleaned but not sterilized, in a large pot of water (about 8 to 10 jars depending on their size, but always prepare extra).
2
Cut the flesh of the melons into large cubes.
3
Put the melon, lemon juice, and split vanilla into a large pot. Let it simmer gently for 1 hour. Remove and wipe the jars with a clean cloth. After an hour, scrape the vanilla to leave all the seeds in the mixture and remove it. Blend the jam like a soup, then add the two packets of gelling sugar, stirring over high heat for 3 minutes.
4
Pour immediately into the jars. Seal them well and turn them upside down until completely cooled.
5
To finish, once they are well cooled, rinse the jars to remove any drips and store them in a cool, dark place (garage, cupboard, etc.).

Hello, I have a question: I can't stand gelling sugar, what could I replace it with, please?? Someone spoke so kindly about a certain sugar, what is it, and where can I find it then?? A thousand thanks! -

Very fine, to do again, with pumpkin + 2 melons + 4 kiwis + 5 prickly pears, very important to use brown sugar + one tablespoon of vanilla sugar... let rest overnight with the brown sugar and cook the next day. (do not peel the pumpkin) (all cut to the size of half a sugar cube). -

Super jam Ideal. My suggestion: First, bring 500ml of water to a boil in the pot where you will add the ingredients, and pour half of it into the pot to warm it up. -

Very good I liked the recipe because it uses a gelling agent that ensures a minimum setting, but at the same time, by putting the sugar in at the end, it allows for a good cooking time which gives a good flavor to the jam. One small detail is missing from the recipe: you need to stir over high heat for 3 minutes, but I assume this is after the mixture comes back to a boil since adding the sugar cools down the juice. You need to count about 6 to 7 minutes before it returns to a boil. My suggestion: Vanilla is really the best with melon jam; nothing else should be added. Personally, I don't blend the juice; I find it better with pieces. For the melon, you shouldn't follow the sugar quantities indicated on the sugar packages since the melon is already very sweet. 2/3 of the sugar (which is suggested in the recipe) is more than enough. -

Sugars You can use any sugars you want, just make sure to follow the quantities indicated on the package. In any case, you will need more than with the one from the recipe. My suggestion: It will be amazing on toasted bread.
