Prepare the necessary ingredients to make melon and watermelon jam for the winter!
Cut the watermelon and melon into slices, trim the pulp from the rinds and remove all the seeds. Remove even the soft, snow-white seeds from the watermelon. Cut the berry pulp into large pieces. Specifically large, because they will lose two-thirds of their own mass. If you chop it finely, you will get jam, not jam.
Place the tenderloin in a cauldron or other container with a non-stick bottom, add sweet sand. You can pour 1 tsp. lemon juice if the melon is very sweet. But it turned out to just smell, without obvious sweetness, so I prepared the jam without lemon juice. Stir gently.
Warm the contents of the container for approximately 10-15 minutes and turn off the heat. During this period of time, the tenderloin will release a third of the juice. You can drain it, you can cook the delicacy in it, but you will have to simmer the dessert even longer. Cool the contents of the cauldron for approximately 30-40 minutes in the cold. As the tenderloin pieces cool, they will absorb the syrup.
Heat again for 10 minutes and cool again for 30-40 minutes. There will be less jam, it will boil down and caramelize. Heat the workpiece for the 3rd time and scald the jar and lid with boiling water.
Place the hot jam in a jar and seal the lid tightly. Melon and watermelon jam is ready for the winter. Allow the workpiece to cool at room temperature, and then transfer it to the storage space. The shelf life of the jam is 1 year.
Don’t forget to add a little sweetness to try - its taste is especially strong with hot tea or coffee without sugar.
Watermelon and melon jam
Make jam from the healthiest ingredients! Watermelon and melon jam is an unusual, but very successful combination! Both of these ingredients are rich sources of vitamins and essential microelements. Jam will be not only a sweet treat, but also a healthy, vitamin-rich dish for the family. It is better to choose not the juiciest melon for production. It’s great if it’s not overripe, but compacted. There is already a lot of juice in a watermelon, so additional juice from a melon will not be very helpful. The juicier the melon, the longer it is necessary to boil the jam.

manufacturing method
1. Wash the watermelon under running water. Then we cut it in half. Using a sharp knife, cut off the skin. It is necessary to cut off not only the greenish part, but also the snow-white part - close to the pulp. Then we cut the watermelon pulp into cubes, and at the same time select the seeds. You can do it differently with the pulp: extract it with a tablespoon, grind through a sieve, thereby removing the seeds (they will remain on the sieve).
2. Wash the melon too. Then we remove the skin and seeds. Cut the pulp into cubes. Place the watermelon and melon pulp in a large saucepan and add sugar. Leave for 8-10 hours (at night (that is, in the dark) ).
3. In the morning, put the pan on the fire. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 5-10 minutes - turn off the heat. Leave the jam until the evening, and then cook for the same amount of time. We boil it in this way twice more: the next day and in the evening. During this period of time, the liquid will evaporate well and the jam will become quite thick.
4. Be sure to wash and sterilize the jars using any usual method. The main thing is that before adding the jam, the container is clean, hot and dry. If the jars are sterilized in the oven or microwave, they will be dry. If sterilization is carried out over steam, then the jars need to be given time to dry. Place the hot jam into prepared jars. Seal tightly.
This jam is stored in a cold, black place: in the cellar or basement. You can also store it on the balcony or loggia. While the jam is hot, it is not very thick. But when it hardens, it thickens perfectly and becomes similar to jam.

Jam made from watermelon pulp with jellyfix for the winter
Hi all! Now I will prepare jam from watermelon pulp with jellyfix for the winter. The jam cooking time is 15 minutes, sugar per kilogram of watermelon pulp requires 500 grams.
Watermelon jam . Watermelon jam always comes out unique, tender, fragrant, like honey. Therefore, such jam is often called “watermelon honey.”
Watermelon jam in its first version is prepared from watermelon rinds with a bit of pulp on them. In the second version, the most common, watermelon jam is made from watermelon pulp.
Each housewife has her own options for making watermelon jam. Some housewives diversify the taste of jam by adding other berries and fruits to the watermelon pulp, for example, melons, apples, citrus fruits, peaches, apricots and others.
Cooking watermelon jam is a rather long process. The five-minute method of making jam does not work here.
The most common option (without straining the jam from the pulp) of making a dessert comes down to the following steps. The watermelon pulp is cut into pieces, removing seeds and skin. Then sprinkle with sugar. When the watermelon pulp releases its juice, the basin with the contents is heated over low heat until it boils. Boil the contents, stirring it with a wooden spatula for 15 minutes. Then let the jam cool. Then the process of heating and boiling the dessert for 10-15 minutes (with stirring) will need to be repeated up to 5-6 times.
When cooking jam, add citric acid or lemon juice, as well as vanilla or vanilla sugar for flavor, 5 minutes before the end of boiling. Boil the jam with these ingredients for another 5 minutes. Turn off the fire. Allow the jam to cool, then distribute it into sterile jars, sealing them with lids for long-term storage. Or store the jam in glass jars under plastic lids in the refrigerator.
