Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Cantaloupe melon
- 1 whole Honeydew melon
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cups Marsala wine
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly under cool running water.
Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew melons in half, remove the seeds, and use a melon baller to scoop out small, uniform spheres. Alternatively, you can cut the melons into bite-sized cubes. Place the melon pieces in a large serving bowl.
Hull the strawberries and slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Add the strawberries to the bowl with the melon.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Marsala wine, honey, and lemon juice. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Drizzle the Marsala mixture over the fruit in the serving bowl, tossing gently to evenly coat the fruit.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the fruit for a burst of freshness.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
