Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole cantaloupe (rockmelon)
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baller to scoop the flesh into bite-sized balls, or slice it into small chunks.
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Rinse the blueberries thoroughly and let them drain.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, and orange zest to create the glaze.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cantaloupe, strawberries, and blueberries.
Drizzle the orange glaze over the fruit and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Chop the mint leaves finely and sprinkle over the top as a garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. Toss again gently before serving to refresh the glaze.
