  Prep Time:

  Total Time:

  Serves: makes 9 servings

1/2 watermelon, seeded
1 cantaloupe melon, halved and seeded
1 honey dew melon, halved and seeded
1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp. orange-flavored liqueur (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. grated lime zest
1 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup black or red seedless grapes

1. Using a melon baller, scoop flesh from watermelon, cantaloupe and honey dew into balls set aside.

2. In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the sugar, lime juice, lemon juice, orange liqueur, and lime zest. Stir well to dissolve sugar. Add the melon balls, strawberries, and grapes. Toss gently to combine.

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to blend flavors, stirring once or twice.

4. Spoon the fruit mixture into serving bowls or hollowed out melon halves, dividing evenly or in watermelon bowl for self serve. Serve immediately.

Variation:

For a tropical fruit version, substitute kiwi slices, pineapple chinks, papaya slices, or mango cubes for some of the melon balls. Add a little grated fresh ginger or ground ginger. A dash of coconut extract would also make a intriguing addition. Try serving this version in a hollowed out pineapple half.
