Steps:
- Cut cantaloupe into 3/4- to 1-inch cubes (about 5 cups) and place in large bowl. Add lime juice, mint, and lime peel; toss to blend. Mix in sugar, ginger, and honey. Refrigerate salad until ready to serve, stirring occasionally, up to 3 hours.
Tips:
- Choose ripe cantaloupe: A ripe cantaloupe will have a deep orange color and a slightly sweet smell. Avoid cantaloupes that are green or have bruises or soft spots.
- Use fresh mint: Fresh mint will give your grilled cantaloupe a refreshing flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the cantaloupe: Cantaloupe is a delicate fruit, so it's important not to overcook it. Grill the cantaloupe for just a few minutes per side, or until it is slightly softened and caramelized.
- Serve grilled cantaloupe immediately: Grilled cantaloupe is best served immediately after it is cooked. The flavors will fade if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Grilled honey mint cantaloupe is a delicious and refreshing summer dessert. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of sweet cantaloupe, honey, mint, and lime is simply irresistible. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a snack, grilled honey mint cantaloupe is sure to be a hit.
