• zest from 1 lemon
• 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice

Combine the cantaloupe, sugar, and vanilla bean pod and seeds in a nonreactive pot. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 8-10 minutes.

Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and the packet of liquid pectin. Return to a vigorous boil. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bubbles look thick. Remove the vanilla bean pod and discard.
