Melon with Raspberry Sauce

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min. YIELD: 6 servings.
Refreshing melon slices fanned out in a pretty pool of raspberry sauce create a light but elegant ending to any special-occasion meal.

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 melon

Directions

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. On each dessert plate, place 2 tablespoons of raspberry sauce and a cantaloupe fan and honeydew fan. Garnish with reserved raspberries.
