    Recipe Introduction


    Origins Unknown

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups honeydew melon pieces
    3 cups sugar
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon chopped candied ginger

    Recipe



    Combine in a pan the melon pieces, sugar, lemon juice and
    candied ginger. Let stand until a syrup forms (about 2
    hours). Bring to a boil and boil for two minutes, stirring
    constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently
    until mixture is thickened and the melon is translucent
    (about 45 minutes). Pour into hot, sterilized jars (see
    following directions for sterilization instructions). Keep
    in refrigerator for up to four weeks; in freezer for up to
    six months. Yield: 4 half-pints.

    STERILIZATION OF EMPTY JARS

    To sterilize empty jars, place them right side up on the
    rack in a boiling-water canner. Fill the canner and jars
    with hot (not boiling) water to 1 inch above the tops of the
    jars. Boil 10 minutes at altitudes of less than 1,000
    feet. At higher elevations, boil 1 additional minute for
    each additional 1,000 feet elevation. Remove and drain hot
    sterilized jars one at a time as filled.
