Drunken Melon Balls
Drunken Melon Balls
7 c. melon balls (any melon, or assorted melons)
3 T. sugar
1 c. white (or light) rum
1 tsp. lemon zest
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 T. lime zest
Scoop out little balls of melon from each of your melons (I prefer a blend of honeydew, cantaloupe and temptation melon) until you have 7 cups worth. Put them into your nice big bowl. Dissolve 3 tablespoons of sugar in the white rum and then add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. Pour the rum over the melon balls and toss lightly to coat.
Zest a lemon and a lime, then sprinkle the melon balls with 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of lime zest. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. The longer you leave the fruit, the more it will soak up the rum mixture — so beware. Toss once more before serving and enjoy
