  • About

Russians are most likely to enjoy these lovely preserves in a small dish with tea, but I like them best American style, poured over vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 3-pound honeydew melon or cantaloupe, slightly underripe
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4½

Method

Remove the rind from the melon and cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes. You should have about 4 cups.

Bring 3 cups of the water to a boil in a large saucepan along with the lemon juice. Add the melon cubes
