Made by soaking unripe sugar melon in a vinegar brine, this preserve adds a crisp texture and mildly tangy flavor to the table. Easy to prepare in jars, it makes a convenient appetizer for celebrations.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Melon

20 min

Wash the melon slices and cut them about finger-thick, leaving the rind on. Pack them tightly into clean jars with the garlic cloves.

2

Prepare the Brine

10 min

Bring the vinegar, water, and salt to a boil in a pot. After it has boiled for 5 minutes, remove it from the heat.

3

Fill the Jars

5 min

Pour the hot brine into the jars until it completely covers the melon slices, then seal the lids tightly.

4

Let It Rest

20160 min

Leave the jars in a cool, dark cupboard for at least 2 weeks, then store them in the refrigerator and serve.

Reminder

Pack the melon slices tightly into the jar. If there are gaps, there may not be enough brine, and the top slices can soften when exposed to air.
