Has anyone canned any cucamelon recipes? I’ve only seen quick refrigerator pickling recipes. We have sooo many, and I think everyone is tired of us sharing them…

They are so adorable and delicious. Our crop failed this year (too much compost is a real thing!) and I’m very jealous.

Woooow this is my first time reading and seeing about cucamelon. Is it considered vegetable or fruit? Does it taste more like cucumber or melon? My mind is 🤯🤯🤯

I can’t even get these to germinate. I need some better seeds

I emailed a master canner hotline and they told me I could use them in relish recipes (chopped up, sub for cucumbers or other vegetables). I did some classic relish recipe (Ball book, I think) and it turned out okay, though a bit slimier than normal relish. I adore okra so apparently I don’t mind slimy texture, so wasn’t a huge deal for me.
They really are prolific when they get going, aren’t they?

I’ve seen recipes that use the same brine as bread and butter pickles and are processed the same way.
