Melon in Honey You can make this fast dessert with any kind of melon, though a mixture (honeydew and cantaloupe in our recipe) provides attractive contrast in color as well as texture. Choose heavy melons and rely on your nose to find one with a sweet, ripe taste. 4 cups balls, slices, or pieces of a mixture of honeydew and cantaloupe (or other melon) 1 large lime 1/4 cup honey 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional) Cut the melons in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baler to make balls, or use a knife to cut the flesh into pieces. Peel the lime with a vegetable peeler. Stack the strips of skin together and mince into a fine julienne. Add them to the melon with the juice of the lime (approximately 1/3 cup) and the honey. Stir the mixture and macerate for 1 hour if time allows. Add a tablespoon of dark rum or another spirit of your choice. Serve in small, deep dishes. 6 SERVINGS Return to Top | Back to Recipes |
