Sunny Fruit Fiesta

  • 1 Canteloupe melon, halved and seeded
  • 1/2 Honeydew melon, seeded
  • 1/4 cups Sugar, granulated
  • 1/4 cups Lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons Orange flavored liquor
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Lime peel, grated
  • 1 cups Strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cups Grapes, green

    • Using melon baller, scoop flesh from canteloupe and honeydew into balls; set aside.

    In large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the sugar, lime juice, orange liquor and lime peel. Stir well to dissolve sugar. Add the canteloupe and honeydew balls, strawberries and grapes. Toss gently to combine.

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors, stirring once or twice.

    Spoon the fruit mixture into serving bowls or hollowed out melon halves, dividing evenly. Serve immediately.
