Cooking description:
In order to make watermelon and melon jam, you need to choose the right ingredients. Fruits need mid-ripening, overripe are overcooked.

How to make "Watermelon and Melon Jam"
Prepare all ingredients. Peel and seed the melon, cut the pulp into cubes and transfer to a large saucepan (I have a cauldron). Use a sharp knife to cut the peel off the watermelon. You need to cut off not only the green, but also the white part - close to the pulp. Cut the pulp into cubes, removing the seeds in the process, then add the watermelon to the melon. Fill the watermelon and melon with sugar and leave for 8-10 hours, I left it overnight. Squeeze the juice out of the lemon. Grate the zest on a fine or medium grater. Add the zest and juice to the saucepan. Put the saucepan on the fire and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 5-10 minutes, periodically skimming off the resulting foam. Leave the jam until evening and then cook for the same amount of time. In this way, boil two more times - the next morning and evening. During this time, the jam should boil well.
