BOOZY MINTED MELON BALLS



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!

GINGER LIME MELON BALLS



Ginger Lime Melon Balls image

I was looking for an easy, cool, summer fruit appetizer for my August wedding reception. My family made all the food for 100 guests by ourselves, so I needed something easy yet memorable. I found this recipe on a "melon web-site", AICR. It was so simple and after doing a tasting of 3 different recipes, this one was the clear favorite. If you've never used crystallized ginger, you should be able to find it in the bulk food section with dried fruits. It is NOT fresh ginger, it's like a soft, sugared, candy. You can't mince it too fine because it gets pretty sticky as you cut it. You can use any kind of ripe melon in season, but I like honeydew and cantaloupe best. Perfect for a picnic, summer brunch or a DIY wedding reception! Enjoy!

Categories     Melons

Time 20m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh lime zest
4 cups melon balls (I like to mix honeydew and cantaloupe)
4 sprigs of fresh mint (garnish)

Steps:

  • In small saucepan, combine juice, water, ginger and zest. Set pan over medium-high heat and bring to boil. Boil 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture reduces to 2 tablespoons.
  • Strain mixture though fine sieve to remove zest. (I'm not sure this step is really needed).
  • Place melon in bowl, toss with ginger-lime mixture. Let sit for 15 minutes. You can drain the sauce or serve it with the melon.
  • Garnish with mint (optional).
