Iced Winter Melon with Wine

Submitted by Dee514

"This very simple appetizer makes a delicious first course, especially if you are looking for something a "bit different" to serve. If the flavor of winter melon doesn't appeal to you, you may substitute honeydew or cantaloupe with equally good results."

• Ingredients: 2
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1 medium honeydew melon or 1 medium cantaloupe (if you prefer)
• 1 1 cup sherry wine or 1 cup marsala

directions

1. Cut a triangle in the stem end of the melon and remove seeds with a spoon.
2. Fill with wine, replace triangle and refrigerate 3 hours, taking care that the wine doesn't spill out.
