Rescuing cantaloupe that is not sweet enough

[Steve Petrone]

Cantaloupe that is not quite as sweet and flavorfull as you would hope for can be rescued.

Cut up fruit add a tablespoon or so of triple sec. These flavors are excellent together. the sweetness of the triple sec is just enough. The next time your melon disappoints, try it.

Good to know! I'd also love to try the sliced melons in lime-mint syrup from Russ Parson's How to Read a French Fry.

Essentially you dissolve a bunch of sugar in boiling water, then take it off the heat and add some mint and lime zest, then let it cool, strain it, chill it, and pour it over your sliced melons.
