Melon Balls With Lime Sauce Recipes

BOOZY MINTED MELON BALLS

Steps:

• Place the watermelon and cantaloupe balls in a baking dish in a single layer. In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, rum and honey until combined. Pour the lime mixture over the melon balls and toss to coat. Add the mint leaves. Let sit for 2 to 3 hours in the fridge, flipping the balls once or twice if desired.
• To serve, scoop the melon balls into a large bowl and pour the rum mixture over top. Cover with a sprinkling of fresh mint leaves.

MELON BALLS WITH RUM AND LIME

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, mix the sugar and water.
• Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the grated lime peel and cool the mixture.
• Add the rum and lime juice.
• Pour syrup over the melon balls.
• Chill covered, for 3 to 5 hours.

MELON BALLS WITH HONEYLIME YOGURT

Steps:

• Use a melon baller to scoop out balls of flesh from the cantaloupe; place balls in a large bowl. Repeat with the honeydews and add the balls to the bowl. Use the handle of a teaspoon to scrape out the visible watermelon seeds in rows, then scoop out flesh with the melon baller. Add to other melon balls and toss well with orange juice to combine. Chill.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice until honey is liquefied. Whisk in yogurt; taste and add more honey or lime according to your taste.
• Divide melon balls between 4 serving dishes and drizzle 1/2 cup yogurt over each. Enjoy.

GINGER LIME MELON BALLS

Steps:

• 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).
