Ingredients
- 1 cup melon (150g) I used cantaloupe, but honeydew and others also work
- 1 cup white sugar (200g)
- 1 cup water (240g)
Instructions
- Deseed the melon and cut the ripe flesh into small cubes, so you have 1 cup of melon.
- Add all ingredients to a pot and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and pour in the mixture to remove the cantaloupe pieces.
- Pour into a bottle or jar and store in the refrigerator once completely cooled.
- Note: the melon syrup will thicken further once cool.
Notes
- Choose Ripe Melon: The key to a flavorful syrup is using a ripe melon. Look for cantaloupes that have a sweet aroma and yield slightly to pressure.
- Don’t Skip the Simmer: Allowing the syrup to simmer for the full 10 minutes helps to extract maximum flavor from the melon.
- Fine Mesh Sieve: Use a fine mesh sieve to strain out the melon pulp for a smooth syrup. Pressing gently on the solids with the back of a spoon can help extract more liquid.
- Cool Before Bottling: Make sure the syrup has cooled to room temperature before transferring it to a jar or bottle to avoid condensation.
