- You'll only need the flesh of the melon. Cut it into medium cubes — the exact size doesn't really matter. Scrub the orange under warm water with the rough side of a kitchen sponge to remove any coatings used to extend the fruit's shelf life. Then, using a vegetable peeler, shave off the zest in a thin layer, taking care not to dig into the bitter white pith, which would give the jam an unwanted bitterness. Finely chop the zest, then peel the orange and squeeze out the juice. Pour the sugar into a large pot, add the water, and add the chopped melon, along with the orange zest and juice. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and add the seeds to the pot along with the empty pod halves. Set the pot over low heat, bring to a boil, and cook the jam for 50 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spoon. While the jam cooks, sterilize your jars and lids: wash them with baking soda, rinse well, sterilize the jars over steam, and boil the lids (or use whatever sterilizing method you prefer). Ladle the hot jam into the jars, seal with the lids, and turn the jars upside down. Wrap them in a blanket and leave to cool slowly for a day, then move them to a pantry or cellar for storage. All done!
