Hollow out sun ripened melons, fill with fruit slush, and sip away! Adapted from BH&G magazine(July 1989). Cook time is freezing time. Ingredients:
4 small cantaloupes |
1 cup water |
1 (6 ounce) can frozen concentrate orange juice, thawed |
1 (12 ounce) can carbonated lemon-lime beverage (or 2 cans or flavored seltzer) |
Directions:
1. Slice tops off the 4 small cantaloupes, reserving tops.
2. Scoop out seeds and pulp. Discard seeds. Cover melons and tops; chill till needed.
3. Measure out 4 cups pulp and combine in food processor or blender with 1 cup water. Cover and process until smooth.
4. Stir in one 6 oz. can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed.
5. Pour fruit mixture into a 9 x9 x2 pan. Cover and freeze about 6 hours or till you're ready to eat it.
6. At sipping time, let the frozen fruit mixture soften about 10 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, cut a thin slice off the melon bottoms to avoid tipping. With an apple corer, punch straw holes in melon tops. Spoon fruit mixture into melons. Fill with chilled lemon lime beverage(or flavored seltzer). Stir until slushy.
8. Place the tops on the melons, poke in a straw, and start sippin'! Enjoy!
