Directions
Honeydew Compote, A delightful syrup for a fresh-tasting fruit dessert Garnished with a slice or two of prosciutto or Bayonne ham, this dish makes a nice appetizer (Eating Well, Summer 2002), I halved all ingredients except for the water and sugar This was good, probably even better with a nice ripe sweet melon (mine was only so-so to start with) used a small amound of jalapeno instead of the serrano, and the pepper with the ginger gave it a nice bite Would be nice in summer I did not care for the mint shreds mixed into the melon, and the sauce tasted better fresh than after cooking and cooling (personal preference, I think it had more POW) Will certainly make again, the next time I have honeydew melon to use up, or perhaps for a light addition to summer grilled meal Thank you Gastronomic Foodie!, I halved all ingredients except for the water and sugar This was good, probably even better with a nice ripe sweet melon (mine was only so-so to start with) used a small amound of jalapeno instead of the serrano, and the pepper with the ginger gave it a nice bite Would be nice in summer I did not care for the mint shreds mixed into the melon, and the sauce tasted better fresh than after cooking and cooling (personal preference, I think it had more POW) Will certainly make again, the next time I have honeydew melon to use up, or perhaps for a light addition to summer grilled meal Thank you Gastronomic Foodie!
