Juice of 1/2 lemon,
1/2 honeydew melon,

Directions:
Cut the cantaloupe in half. Discard seeds. With a melon baller, cut melon balls out of both halves and put them in a bowl. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.

Cut the honeydew melon in slices and remove the outer skin cutting far enough into the melon slices to avoid any unripe parts. Coarsely chop the skinned slices and puree in a processor. If the melon is too watery, spoon some of the liquid away and discard. Fold in the honey.

To serve, spoon some of the honeydew puree into oversized red wine goblets. Add some cantaloupe balls, and 2 raspberries or strawberries to the top and serve.

Personal Notes:
In the 16th Century, interest in cooking in Italy was growing, and the clergy were among the forefront in participating - in fact, the Popes themselves exerted keen interest. It has been reported that because of this, the tiny melon used by the ancient Romans became one we know today as cantaloupe. It is claimed that it was developed on Papal property near Rome called Cantelupo. The honeydew give a very fresh distinction to the cantaloupe. Very good when served with Nutella cookies.
