Number Of Ingredients 6

6 Cavaillon or other small melons (about 1 1/4 pounds each)
4 pounds red watermelon
1/2 pint red raspberries
1/4 cup ruby port wine
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cut off top quarter of each melon using a round chisel or sharp paring knife to cut a scalloped edge; scoop out seeds. Working over a bowl to collect juice and using a 7/8-inch melon baller, make 2 cups of melon balls from top and bottom of melon; add melon balls to bowl with juice.
  • Working over the bowl to collect juice, make 2 cups melon balls from the watermelon, avoiding seeds. Place watermelon balls in the bowl, and remove any seeds.
  • Add raspberries, port, sugar, and lemon juice to bowl, and toss well to combine. Let stand about 15 minutes.
  • Spoon melon mixture and juices into carved melons, and serve immediately.
