Meloǹ in Ginger Syrup

• 1 large ripe honeydew melon

Where possible, scoop out the melon flesh using a vegetable baller. To do this, press the cutter into the melon flesh and twist round sharply.

Slice the melon in half, scoop out the seeds and cut the melon in quarters. Slice the melon flesh away from the skin and cut into small neat dice. Spoon the flesh and add any juice into a basin.

Measure the sugar and water into a saucepan
