beautiful culinary gift, goes well with cheese, but also with white meat

Halve the melons, scoop out the cores with a spoon, cut into wedges, and peel. Then roughly dice. Peel the oranges very thinly and finely zest the rind. Then juice the juice. Deseed the peppers and finely dice. Finely grind or pound the allspice. Place all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally. This can take up to 3 hours. Be sure to stay with the chutney towards the end and stir well—it will burn easily. If you like, you can mash the larger melon pieces with a potato masher. While still hot, pour into sterilized jars and seal immediately. Leave to cool upside down. The chutney will keep for at least a year.
