Yummy. Looks good. What a wonderful end to the season.
Makes a great Popsicle. I reduced the amounts to end up with 3 cups of puree. Yummy.
sounds so palate cleansing, and fresh
Spot on, girl. Did my mother raise you, too? She always added something, be it curacao, creme de banane, what ever.. AND SHE NEVER EVEN ATE/LIKED IT! Framboise/Chambord on the peaches or pears, too. Somebody stole a plate of simple bosc pear cubes with Chambord once! Campari or tequila on a grapefruit half or orange-onion salad... Funny how terrific a bit of spirits is with fruit. Even if you basically don't drink. And Santa Claus rules: zippier, less cloying, and less prone to produce melon sensitivities like hives or digestive upset. NICE!
A little Cointreau or melon liquor is nice on this salad. I'd sub Casaba or Santa Claus for the cantaloupe.
