Surely summer is in full swing when you can go to the farmer’s market and choose from a plethora of fresh ripe fruits. Right now there are massive melons overflowing from huge baskets at many of the stands at my farmer’s market and they are too hard to resist. Nothing beats a fresh melon, the store bought ones are a far cry from the real deal, ripe and aromatic!! I like to make lots of cool concoctions in the summer, either in my ice cream maker or into popsicles for the kiddos sake. I decided to try cantalope in the form of sherbet, and the mixture can also be used to make popsicles. It’s pretty darn simple, and super refreshing too!!
Cantalope Sherbet/ Popsicles
Serves 6-8
6 cups cantaloupe chunks
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup honey
Grated zest of one lime
Juice of one lime
Pinch of coarse sea salt
1/2 cup cream, whole coconut milk, whole yogurt, or even sour cream or creme fraiche (whatever you have on hand)
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until well blended. Add to your ice cream maker and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. OR, add to popsicle molds and freeze 6 hours. (based on my own popsicle molds that can handle
1/3 cup per popsicle mold, this could make 12-15 popsicles) . Enjoy!!!
