Boozy Minted Melon Balls image

Melon balls were the quintessential summer party food when I was growing up, but it wasn't until I was out of college that I had my first melon ball "salad." My current favorite is this recipe that has a mojito-like splash over the melon. Dreamy!

honeydew
cantaloupe
sugar

Steps:

  • Use melon baller& ball semi-firm honeydew& cantaloupes.

  • Sugar water: 4 cups water to 4 cups sugar- heat to melt the sugar.
  • Cool completely before pouring over the balls.
  • (sugar amounts can be varied. I choose to use 6 cups water to 4 cups sugar) These are best served before completely thawed, so they're a bit'crisp,' and not soggy.
  • A wonderful addition to winter fruit salads!
