I found this during an online search and just had to share it. It takes longer than normal preserves but sounds delicious.

4 cups cantaloupes, peeled, seeded, and diced
3 cups sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place cantaloupe and sugar in large non-reactive saucepan, stir well, cover, and let set for 6-8 hours.

  • **Note: this is a good way to use up cantaloupe that has a strong flavor, but is not very sweet.
