Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ripe cantaloupe (1 1/2 pounds), halved and seeded
1 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 strip fresh lime zest
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cups seedless green grapes, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Scoop cantaloupe into balls with a melon-ball cutter and reserve rinds.
  • Bring wine, sugar, water, and zest to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Squeeze juice from rinds into wine mixture. Boil, skimming froth, until reduced to about 1 cup, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard zest and stir in lime juice.
  • Combine grapes, melon balls, and warm syrup in a bowl and chill, covered, stirring occasionally, 2 hours.
