Very yummy, but serve it right away. . .the longer mine sat out, the juices from the melons released and thinned out the wonderful glaze-like dressing. Tasty though and a great way to perk up melon! UPDATE: I love this recipe. It is perfect for those not-so-sweet cantaloupes. Fast and healthy - perfect dessert! -
10 stars! I mixed this up before dinner and we had it for dessert. The melons, especially the honey dew, had soaked up the flavors and were *knock your socks off* wonderful! I also added some watermelon cubes and they too were terrific. This is the best dressing for melon that I've ever tasted. Thanks for posting this soon to be repeated recipe!

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
