CAVAILLON MELON WITH PORT WINE, WATERMELON, AND BERRIES



Cavaillon Melon with Port Wine, Watermelon, and Berries image

Because it's small, a Cavaillon melon makes a perfect bowl for a single serving. Here it's filled with scarlet raspberries and watermelon, and the orange Cavaillon melon itself.

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 Cavaillon or other small melons (about 1 1/4 pounds each)
4 pounds red watermelon
1/2 pint red raspberries
1/4 cup ruby port wine
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cut off top quarter of each melon using a round chisel or sharp paring knife to cut a scalloped edge; scoop out seeds. Working over a bowl to collect juice and using a 7/8-inch melon baller, make 2 cups of melon balls from top and bottom of melon; add melon balls to bowl with juice.
  • Working over the bowl to collect juice, make 2 cups melon balls from the watermelon, avoiding seeds. Place watermelon balls in the bowl, and remove any seeds.
  • Add raspberries, port, sugar, and lemon juice to bowl, and toss well to combine. Let stand about 15 minutes.
  • Spoon melon mixture and juices into carved melons, and serve immediately.

MELON WITH PORT



Melon With Port image

You can use a wide variety of melons in with this recipe. Honeydew, Cantaloupe, Crenshaw, Casaba are all very nice. Very simple. The melon drinks up the port and makes a cooling summer-time dessert for adults. Be careful not to let it sit too long or the alcohol with absorb into the rind. Can be doubled or tripled easily. Cooking time is time to stand.

MINTY FRESH FRENCH APERITIF AND APPETISER CHARENTAIS MELON BOWLS



Minty Fresh French Aperitif and Appetiser Charentais Melon Bowls image

An appetiser and aperitif all in one sunny melon bowl - I use the local Pineau des Charentes to fill up these charentais melon starters, but white port, fino sherry or any fortified wine would be just as good. Charentais melons are grown mainly in SW France and Spain and have a smooth pale green to creamy yellow skin. The very juicy flesh is deep orange in colour and it is one of the best dessert melons; they are also great in fruit salads, as well as being used as a refreshing starter course - as in this recipe. Preparation time includes the 4 hours to chill prior to serving them. If you cannot get fresh mint sprigs - use any attractive, edible leaves or herbs - maybe even a flower.

Categories     Beverages

Time 4h

Yield 4 Melon Halves, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 small charentais muskmelons
200 ml sherry wine, port (approx) or 200 ml fortified wine (approx)
fresh mint sprig, to serve

Steps:

  • To prepare: Halve and remove the pips and fibres. Cut a small piece from the bottom of each melon so they sit upright in a bowl.
  • Run a knife carefully around the top edge of the melon, as you would prepare a grapefruit. Then cut the flesh in to segments - going as deep as you can without damaging the outer skin - almost like a sunburst pattern - like rays of the sun! Wiggle the knife around to make them quite deep - the liquor will seep into them whilst they are chilling. Place the melon halves in attractive individual serving bowls.
  • Pour in the pineau, sherry or port until the centre of the melon is filled - making sure that it is not too full as it will run over. Place the filled melon halves in the fridge for about 4 hours to chill before serving. Place a mint sprig into each melon half to serve.
  • To store - Keep uncut melons at room temperature until fully ripened, then store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Cut melon should always be covered with Clingfilm and used within 3 days.

CHAMPAGNE MELON SOUP WITH RASPBERRY ICE BALLS



Champagne Melon Soup With Raspberry Ice Balls image

Melon with port is a traditional combination in France, the wine served in half a Cavaillon melon, but I always though it could be improved. The beautiful pastel shades of the melons are lost in the deep red-purple of the wine, and port overwhelms the taste of the fruit. In this recipe, the raspberry ice cubes add color and another flavor dimension to the soup, which is quite intense: they make it taste like a kir royale. I keep raspberry cubes in the freezer for more than just this soup. You can also drop them into a glass of Champagne or a martini.

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups raspberries
Sugar
1 ripe honeydew melon
2 ripe cantaloupes
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
12 large mint leaves
1 1/2 cups Champagne

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine raspberries with 4 tablespoons water. Purée until smooth. Line a strainer with cheesecloth, and set over a bowl. Pour in purée, and twist cloth to squeeze out purée. Stir in 4 teaspoons of sugar, or to taste. Spoon mixture into an ice cube tray that makes round balls or another decorative shape. Freeze until firm.
  • Cut honeydew melon in half, and remove seeds. Using a melon baller, remove flesh from melon to within 3/4 inch of peel. Set aside melon balls. Using a large spoon, scrape out and reserve remaining flesh. Discard peels.
  • Cut cantaloupe in half, using a straight cut or saw toothed design. Remove seeds. Using a melon baller, remove flesh to within 1/4 inch of peel; reserve any extra flesh. Cut off bottoms of cantaloupes, so they stand securely. In a large bowl, mix honeydew and cantaloupe melon balls with lemon juice. Place an equal amount of melon balls in each melon half, and refrigerate.
  • In a blender, purée any honeydew or cantaloupe flesh that has not been shaped into balls. Press through a fine strainer, and add 2 teaspoons of sugar. Refrigerate if desired.
  • To serve, spoon 2 tablespoons of melon purée over melon balls in each cantaloupe half. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut mint leaves into very thin strips, and dust lightly with sugar. Arrange 4 raspberry balls in each melon half, and sprinkle with mint. Set each melon half in soup bowl. At the table, pour Champagne directly into cantaloupe halves, and allow to fizz out and over cantaloupes.
