Ingredients
-
1 cantaloupe, halved (see step 1 & 2 if using shell for basket. If not using shell, seed melon now)
-
1/2 honeydew melon, seeded
-
1/4 cup superfine sugar or 1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon orange-flavored liqueur
-
1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest
-
1 cup raspberries or 1 cup blueberries
-
1 cup seedless black grapes or 1 cup red seedless grapes
Instructions
- Using a non-toxic marker, draw a zigzag pattern on the cantaloupe.
- Cut deeply into the melon along the pattern.
- Separate the halves and seed.
- Use a melon baller to scoop the flesh from the cantaloupe and honeydew into balls.
- Set aside.
- In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the sugar, lime juice, orange liqueur and lime peel.
- Stir well until sugar is dissolved.
- Add the melon balls, berries and grapes.
- Toss gently to combine.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to blend flavours, stirring a couple of times.
- Spoon the fruit mixture into the hollowed out melon halves or into serving bowls.
- Serve immediately.
