ingredients

  • 1 honeydew melon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water

Method

  • Step 1

    Cut the honeydew melon in quarters. Remove the seeds and rind. Cut the melon into chunks and add to a blender.

  • Step 2

    Blend until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. You can’t over do it, so don’t worry about blending too it much.

  • Step 3

    Place a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a bowl or large container. Pour the pureed honeydew into the sieve or cheesecloth, allowing the juice to strain into the bowl. Press down to extract as much juice as possible.

  • Step 4

    In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and honeydew puree. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely, approximately 3-5 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Turn the heat down to low and simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 6

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Once cooled, transfer the honeydew syrup to a glass jar or bottle for storage. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
