1 rockmelon halved and seeded
½ honeydew melon, seeded
¼ cup caster sugar
¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon orange-flavoured liqueur (optional)
2 teaspoons finely grated lime rind
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup black or red seedless grapes
- Using a melon baller, scoop fruit balls from rockmelon
And honeydew
- In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the sugar, lime juice,
Lemon juice, orange liqueur, and lime rind. Stir well to dissolve
Sugar. Add the rockmelon and honeydew balls, strawberries and
Grapes. Toss gently to combine.
- Cover the bowl with clear plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour
To blend flavours, stirring once or twice.
- Spoon the fruit mixture into serving bowls or hollowed-out melon halves,
Dividing evenly. Serve immediately.
Variation – For tropical fruit version, substitute pine***** chunks, pawpaw
slices, mango cubes or kiwi fruit slices for some of the melon balls.
Add a little ground or freshly grated ginger. A dash of coconut essence
would also make an intriguing addition. Try serving this version in a
hollowed-out pine***** half.
Cook Tips – For a melon basket, use a non-toxic marker to draw a zigzag line
Around circumference. Cut deeply along line, separate halves, seed, and fill with fruit.
So Vodaliens this is a zero-fat recipe…Melon, especially rockmelon, is high in
Vitamin A…Citrus juice adds a shot of vitamin C.
You know what. now is in Melbourne +36C I will make this one today yummy
