How to choose fresh and delicious cantaloupe
- Good cantaloupe will be round and firm without any indentations. Choose fruits with dense, prominent lines on the skin; the more pronounced and rough the lines, the sweeter and crunchier the cantaloupe will be.
- Choose cantaloupes that have a sweet, mild fragrance. When holding the cantaloupe, you should pick those that feel firm and heavy, as these will be the crunchy and sweet ones.
- Avoid buying cantaloupes with sharp bodies, green stems, no fragrant smell, and those that feel too light, as these are underripe, low in water content, bland in flavor, and not crunchy when cooked.
Final Product
Dried cantaloupe is very easy to make and has a naturally sweet and fragrant flavor, making it perfect for snacking during home isolation or for making jam during Tet.
Tips for storing dried cantaloupe
- After processing, if you haven’t used it all at once, you can store the dried cantaloupe by placing the jam in a tightly sealed plastic bag, or placing it in a food container with a tight lid.
- Store the cantaloupe jam in a cool, clean, dry place, away from sunlight. If possible, you should use a vacuum sealer to help preserve the product longer and prevent moisture from entering from outside.
With easily accessible ingredients and a simple recipe, you can effortlessly make the sweet, chewy, and delicious melon jam for yourself and your whole family right at home! Wishing you success in your cooking!
