Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Cantaloupe
- 1.5 cups Blueberries
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Cut the cantaloupe into wedges, peel the skin, and then cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
Rinse the blueberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
To make the strawberry sauce, rinse and hull the strawberries. Place them in a blender or food processor along with the honey, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth.
Pour the blended strawberry mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
In a large serving bowl or individual bowls, arrange the cantaloupe cubes and blueberries. Drizzle the cooled strawberry sauce over the fruit.
Optionally, garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Cantaloupe and Blueberries with Fresh Strawberry Sauce.
