Same problem here from time to time.

Another, slightly more obscure idea:

I've sampled the version made with Persian sour plums and it's
surprisingly good, a bit like chewy fruit candy. Since melon pulp
is soft one might be able to omit the cooking step for better
nutrient retention.

If you do try it please post how it works out!
