Grapefruit and Melon Refresher

This is very light and fresh especially if chilled on a hot summers day. But there is a twist, you can freeze it for the winter months as well. This was the starter I had for my wedding breakfast.

1 small ripe melon (I use Honeydew if I can get it)

1 grapefruit peeled and segmented removing as much of the white pith as you can.

2 tablespoons of lime juice (if fresh limes are not available cheat and use lime cordial) it is just as good.

2 oz caster sugar

Halve the melon and remove the seeds. Peel the melon halves cut the flesh into cubes and place into a sturdy container with the grapefruit segments, lime juice and sugar. Leave to stand in the fridge for a minimum of one hour.

To freeze: cover label and freeze

To serve fresh: place mixture into wine glasses

To serve from the freezer: Take out of freezer put in fridge to thaw and leave overnight. Serve in glasses.

Serves approximately 4 servings

And it really is refreshing.  So now you have a pudding to put up for the winter months when you see all those reduced melons at the store.
