In a large saucepan, combine the diced melon, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, dried apricots, raisins, garlic, ginger, red onion, green chilies, cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, red chili flakes, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer uncovered for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Remove the cinnamon stick from the chutney.
Allow the chutney to cool completely before transferring it to sterilized jars.
Seal the jars tightly and store in a cool, dark place for at least a week to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the melon chutney with cheese, grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a condiment for a burst of sweet and tangy flavor.

This melon chutney can be stored for up to 3 months in a cool, dark place.
Instead of fresh ginger, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. The same goes for the cinnamon stick, substitute it with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
