That won't work. The sugar in inside fruit is generally wrapped up inside the fiber of the fruit and has to be broken down to access it.

That's why apples, that have a relatively high amount of sugar, have a lower gly index than you might expect.

I can't find a GI for honeydew melon, but water melon is higher than table sugar, even before I eat the celery at the same time.
