Don't throw away the seeds! They make a very tasty agua fresca. For 2 melons, put the seeds and the juicy pulp around them into a blender with 4 c. water, 2 Tbs. honey, and 2 tsp. grated ginger. Buzz until smooth. Strain out the seeds, pressing on the pulp to extract all the juice, and enjoy. If you want more concentrated flavor you can throw in some of the flesh as well, which also makes it thicker. You can also make a smoothie with the flesh, yogurt, ginger and milk or fruit juice to thin. Sweeten to taste. If you still have too many melons you can freeze the puree as teonzo mentioned above, which will give you smoothie material for a taste of summer in the middle of winter There are recipes online for cantalope jam as well. Think of this as a good thing rather than a problem. You know, when life gives you lemons...
