Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cantaloupe (about 3 pounds), halved and seeded
1 wedge seedless watermelon (about 2 pounds)
3 cups apple cider or apple juice
1 cup water
1/3 cup kanten flakes
1/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Scoop out cantaloupe and watermelon with a melon baller (yields about 8 cups total) and put in a 9-by-5-inch (8 cup) loaf pan; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring cider, water, and kanten to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the kanten is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in honey until dissolved; cool to room temperature. Pour cooled liquid over the melon and set aside at room temperature until set, about 3 hours.
  • Invert the kanten onto a platter. Slice into individual portions and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days.
