Lime and Ginger Melon Jam.

Confiture de Melon au Gingembre et Citron Vert from Clotilde Dusoulier.
It was she who...'For this English-language edition, Phaidon Press assembled a team of editors and cooks led by Clotilde Dusoulier, the food writer known for her popular blog at chocolateandzucchini.com, who had inherited her grandmother's yellowed copy of Je Sais Cuisiner. Dusoulier and her team updated a large selection of the recipes for today's cooks, expanding the instructions when necessary, reducing fat in some recipes and shortening cooking times in others. The new edition also added 200 lovely photographs.'
