Ingredients

You can make this fast dessert with any kind of melon, though a mixture (honeydew and cantaloupe)provides an a attractive contrast in color as well as texture. Choose heavy melons and rely on your nose to find one with a sweet, ripe taste. You can use Mangos and Papaya's as well. Basically any fruit.

4 cups balls, slices, or pieces of a mixture of honeydew and cantaloupe (or other melon)

1 large lime

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon dark rum or spirit of your choice (optional, you can add vanilla too if you wish. Again I am in love with Trader Joe's Vanilla Bean Paste.)

Directions

Cut the melons in half and remove the seeds.

Use a melon baler to make balls, or use a knife to cut the flesh into pieces.

Peel the lime with a vegetable peeler.

Stack the strips of skin together and mince into a fine julienne.

Add them to the melon with the juice of the lime (approximately 1/3 cup) and the honey.

Stir the mixture and macerate for 1 hour if time allows.

Add a tablespoon of dark rum or another spirit of your choice.

Serve in small, deep dishes.

Optional: I serve this sometimes with fresh whip cream with toasted coconut

To turn this into a meal beside the yogurt. Sometimes I eat this wtih Prosciutto. This little dessert or brunch or side dish you can do anything with. Isn't cooking great?
