SPICY & SAVORY SWEET HONEYDEW MELON
Mummmm, I had this at my neighbors bbq. It was excellent. I begged for the recipe until she gave it up. It's so simple, I'm sharing it with all of you. Hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. Please note cooking time is chilling time.

[email protected]The melon was a bit too soft for my liking. I think I'll try grilling it next time instead of sautéing it.

[email protected]I found the marinade to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try reducing the amount of honey.
