In a large pot, combine the melon pieces, 875 gr of sugar, the juice of 1 lemon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean).

Allow the mixture to macerate for a minimum of 1 hour.

After maceration, cook the mixture over medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches a thick, jam-like consistency.

Pour the confiture into sterilized jars while hot and seal them.
