I saw this idea for raspberry-puree covered cantaloupe years and years ago and just now remembered it. I added some honey to make it more sweet so that I could serve it as a dessert. The combination of flavors was just wonderful ~ serve it over vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
Fresh Raspberried Cantaloupe
- 1 fresh cantaloupe, de-seeded and either sliced into cubes or into rounds using a melon baller
- 6 oz fresh raspberries {you'll only use about 4 oz or 2/3 the container}
- 2-3 tsp raw honey
- 2-3 fresh mint leaves
Rinse about 2/3 the container of a 6-oz package of fresh raspberries and pat dry. Using a small blender or food processor, blend the raspberries with the honey and mint leaves.
Immediately pour puree over the cantaloupe rounds. Mix well, until all cantaloupe is covered.
Serve as a refreshing, sweet treat or atop vanilla ice cream.
ENJOY!
