4-8
ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon grated fresh lime zest
- 4 cups melon balls (I like to mix honeydew and cantaloupe)
- 4 sprigs of fresh mint (garnish)
directions
- In small saucepan, combine juice, water, ginger and zest. Set pan over medium-high heat and bring to boil. Boil 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture reduces to 2 tablespoons.
- Strain mixture though fine sieve to remove zest. (I'm not sure this step is really needed).
- Place melon in bowl, toss with ginger-lime mixture. Let sit for 15 minutes. You can drain the sauce or serve it with the melon.
- Garnish with mint (optional).

Okay. I mucked around a bit and still had a fabulous dessert last night. After making the syrup, I left the bits in and pour the cooled liquid over my mellon and let it sit in a bowl for an hour or so. Fished the melon balls out of the syrup leaving behinds the bits. Topped with some additional diced crystallized ginger. So easy and delicious.
