Melon jelly
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have thought of making melon jelly at home myself, but my friend strongly recommended I give it a try. And indeed, the jelly turned out incredibly delicious and not as overly sweet as the melon itself. Plus, the aroma was so amazing that you could almost get full just by smelling it. Anyway, now I highly recommend you try this simple melon jelly recipe—believe me, this dessert turns out exquisite, very bright, sunny, and beautiful. The ready dessert can be served at the table.

Now we place the melon into molds and pour the gelatin mixture over it. Once the liquid has cooled, the molds should be placed in the refrigerator until the jelly has completely set.
