about 6 cups fresh melon pieces(probably about 1 cantaloupe and 1 honey dew, or half a watermelon and 1 other melon or 1 personal watermelon and another honeydew or cantaloupe... |
2 cups grapes(i used the large red grapes...not seedless. we just eat 'em whole, seeds and all, anyway ;) |

juice from 3 fresh limes(about 2 1/2-3t) |
1/4 cup honey |
1t vanilla |
