Preparing for Freezing:
Cut in half, remove seeds and rind. Cut melons into slices, cubes or balls as desired.

The simplest and fastest method for freezing melons is to spread them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and tray freeze them until firm. Once firm, transfer to containers or plastic freezer bags. Seal, label and freeze. Leave 1/2 inch of headspace for expansion during freezing.
This is the method I have always used. I've never had any problems w/ the results. By freezing them on sheet pans, then transferring to a freezer container, you will be able to remove only what you need later. Otherwise, all the friut will "stick" together. You can also freeze grapes and strawberries the same way.
