This is great in the summer when you don't want to serve a heavy dessert or meal to your family. This recipe is very easy and requires no cooking. Ingredients:
1 large cantaloupe |
1 cup strained orange juice |
1 teaspoon grated lime rind |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons honey |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
lime slice |
Directions:
1. Cut the cantaloup in half and scoop out the seeds; discard the seeds.
2. Use a melon baller or ice cream scoop to form the cantaloupe flesh into balls. Place in a serving bowl.
3. Combine orange juice, lime rind, lime juice, salt and honey in a bowl. Mix this well and pour over the cantaloupe balls.
4. Chill the cantaloupe mixture thoroughly, about 2 hours, in the refrigerator.
