Ingredients

2 limes
1 1/2 lb assorted melons, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 5 cups)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup dark rum, if desired
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
12 bamboo skewers (5 or 6 inch)

Steps:

Grate 2 tablespoons peel from limes. Cut each lime in half crosswise; squeeze halves over small bowl to remove 6 tablespoons juice.
Place melon cubes in 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag. Sprinkle lime peel and pour lime juice over melon. Add sugar, rum and mint. Seal bag; turn to coat melon.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors but no longer than 24 hours. To serve, thread 4 or 5 melon cubes on each skewer. Discard marinade.
