Cucumber melon jam

http://lekkerreseptevirdiejongergeslag.blogspot.com/2013/01/komkommerkonfyt.html

ingredients
(4 jars at 210 ml)
1 cucumber (about 250-300 g),
1/2 Galia melon (about 400-500 g, you could as well use cantaloupe or honeydew),
1/2 teaspoon vanilla seeds,
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped mint,
250 g 3:1 jam sugar . 1 additional teaspoon citric acid (optional to your taste)

preparation
Peel cucumber and half melon. Remove seeds and grate finely into a big pot. Weight cucumber-melon-mixture. Divide by three and add this amount of 3:1 jam sugar (in weight). The final weight I came out with was 750 g, so I added 250 g of sugar. Add vanilla seeds and mint and marinate for 2 hours.

Over high heat, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Drop a bit of jam on small plate, cool and down and check if it is already gelling. If not, cook for a few more minutes. Fill into sterilized jars, close lid and let cool upside-down. Chill and spread on your bun, croissant,… together with some cream cheese.*.nadelundgabel.
