Cantaloupe

[Steve Petrone]

What unique way do you enjoy it?

I have two:

fresh cantelope and orange curcao...wonderful

fresh cantelope and dairy (cottage cheese or yogurt) and tonight I added a third ingredient.......fresh diced jalapeno !!! Yum

 

[Bryan S]

Fresh can te lope with some sea salt, that's it for me. I'm easy.

 

[Tom Chips]

Now the jalapeno sounds like an intresting addition. I will have to try that sometime.

Usually I will cube it up in about 1" sizes, and get it as ice cold as I can, then drizzle a bit of pure maple syrup or honey on top of it.

Add some ice and tequila and throw it in a blender and you have yourself a cantelope margarita.

 

[B. Kaylor]

Salt and fresh ground black pepper. But I'll say, I'm gona have to try the jalapenos, and the margarita too.

Prosciutto con melone.....sliced cantalope wrapped with prosciutto with dots of very high end balsamic....outstanding.

Dude, I have no idea how to spell it, I just posted on how I say it. I don't say it as one word, It comes out of my mouth as 3 words hence the Can - Te - Lope.

 

[Doug D]

Cantaloupe. My Dad always put black pepper on his.

Pretty much the same for me. Occasionally wrapped with some prosciutto. I've done the cottage cheese thing as well and like it.

Sometimes combining fresh herbs with fruit adds a twist. Try any of these to some fresh fruit:
Basil, thyme, ginger, cilantro.

Just tonight I saw thyme in a fruit pastry for desert.....top chef.

Not sure if anyone saw the Food Network Special "Ultimate Recipe Showdown" episode where the contestant made a Turkey Burger with Can - Tee - Lope (instead of Tomato) along with prosciutto, instead of Bacon? The Judges said it worked very well.

Bryan,

When I cannot get good tomatoes (like the Jersey shore ones) I have used raosted red peppers in lieu of tomatoes. Works fine on any kind of burgers. You can even use the peppers that are in a jar.
