Directions
Ginger Lime Melon Balls, 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!, Okay I mucked around a bit and still had a fabulous dessert last night After making the syrup, I left the bits in and pour the cooled liquid over my mellon and let it sit in a bowl for an hour or so Fished the melon balls out of the syrup leaving behinds the bits Topped with some additional diced crystallized ginger So easy and delicious
