Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes     Cocktail Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 limes, juiced (about 1/2 cup), plus more for garnish and rims
Superfine sugar, for rims
1 honeydew melon (about 6 pounds), quartered, peeled, and seeded
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup packed fresh mint, plus sprigs for garnish
1/2 cup medium-bodied golden rum, such as Appleton
3 cups small ice cubes

Steps:

  • Rub a lime wedge on rims of 8 glasses, then dip rims in superfine sugar.
  • Cut 3 melon quarters into 1-inch chunks. Puree melon in a food processor until smooth. Strain puree through a cheesecloth-lined sieve, and discard solids. (You should have about 4 cups.) Using a 1-inch melon baller, scoop balls from remaining quarter, and reserve.
  • Bring granulated sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and add mint. Let stand at room temperature, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, and discard mint leaves. (You should have a scant 1/3 cup syrup.)

SHOWY BUT SIMPLE FRUIT KABOBS - PERFECT FOR A PARTY



Showy but Simple Fruit Kabobs - Perfect for a Party image

I was looking for a fruit "something" that would be finger food friendly for a shower this weekend. Wanted something a little showy for the buffet table, and was surprised that I couldn't find anything on zaar involving fruit and a skewer. :) Shock horror! I ended up on www.justjennrecipies.com and found this idea. It's nothing you couldn't figure out on your own, pretty basic, but it gave me an idea to work with. You could serve with one of the many fruit dip recipes here on the zaar - or as is, which is what I'm planning to do. I'll post some pics once it's done! Update: I had to use a baby watermelon, still worked out fine. I did find the step of making small X marks to poke the skewers through was unnecessary - plus you need to get the right angle when you poke the skewer in (otherwise they might be flopping down too far from the weight of the fruit, so I wouldn't bother with that step next time.

Time 1h

Yield 30 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 whole watermelon, regular medium sized watermelon
1 cantaloupe
1 pineapple
1/2 lb grapes
1 pint blueberries (or other firm berry depending on what's available...ie strawberries)
30 bamboo skewers
of fresh mint (optional)

Steps:

  • If you're starting with a whole watermelon, cut it in half. Cut tip to tip, so that if you turn your half upside down, the tips are barely noticeable at each end. Choose to work with the half that looks the best when you turn it over.
  • Using a melon baller, scoop out all of the watermelon into nice bite sized balls, place them on a platter as you go. When you can't make any more balls, scrape the remainder of the watermelon out using a spoon until you have an empty shell (all white), and set the shell aside to let it dry out.
  • Once the shell is dried out a bit you will turn the shell over onto a platter, so the cut side is down and you've got a nice half round base to work with. Using a paring knife, cut small X marks or poke holes in rows as you choose across the outside of the melon shell. Space the holes about 2" apart.
  • Cut the rest of your fruit into bite sized pieces. You may also choose to use the melon baller on the cantaloupe.
  • Once all the fruit is cut up, you can start assembling the fruit onto skewers following any pattern you like. The grapes and berries can act as cute stoppers in between larger pieces of fruit. You may also choose to place a piece of fresh mint here and there. Leave about 3" empty on the bottom of each skewer.
  • As you finish each skewer poke the bottom into one of the pre-made holes or x's on your watermelon shell. Before long you'll have the entire melon filled up and looking a bit porcupine-ish. If you need to prepare a little in advance, make the skewers and base and then keep them chilled. Poke the skewers into place once you're ready to serve.
