I made it last summer with a disappointing melon that smelled great but wasn't sweet.
500g peeled melon, finely diced
150-200g sugar
Optional: a few sprigs of rosemary
Optional: rose water (strength varies, add to taste)
Cook down the melon, sugar and rosemary.
Add rosewater off heat.
Jar and store refrigerated.
Serve at room temp.
I really liked it with ricotta, less so plain (it's very melon forward, it needs some backdrop, and ricotta works well with the rose water).
