HOW TO FREEZE MELON
SLICES, CUBES OR BALLS
Prepare: Cut firm-ripe melons in half; remove seeds and soft tissues holding them. If for slices or cubes, cut off all rind; cut to shape. If for balls, do not cut off rind, but scoop with a baller, taking care not to include any rind.
Wet pack, syrup: Cover with 30 (1 cup water to 3/8 cup sugar) percent syrup. Leave 1/2-inch headspace.
Seal, label and freeze.
CRUSHED (NOT FOR WATERMELON)
Prepare: Halve, cut off rind; remove seeds and their soft tissue. Crush or put through the food chopper, using a coarse knife.
Wet pack, juice: Add 1 tablespoon sugar to each 1 quart of crushed melon, if you wish, also add 1 teaspoon lemon juice per quart to perk up the flavor. Stir to dissolve. Pack, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
Seal, label and freeze.
