Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

20 20

Ingredients

2-2/3 cups unsweetened raspberries
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1/2 large cantaloupe
1/2 medium honeydew

Directions

Set aside a few raspberries for garnish. Place the remaining berries in a blender or food processor; cover and process until pureed. Add the honey, lemon juice and ginger; cover and process. Strain and discard seeds; set sauce aside.
Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew into three wedges; cut each wedge widthwise in half. Remove seeds and rind. With a knife, slice each piece of melon lengthwise toward narrow end without cutting completely to the end. Open into a fan shape.
On each dessert plate, place 2 tablespoons of raspberry sauce and a cantaloupe fan and honeydew fan. Garnish with reserved raspberries. Yield: 6 servings.
