Recipe Introduction
6 Servings; 1 Point per serving
List of Ingredients
- 3-1/3 cups fresh or frozen (thawed and undrained)
raspberries or blackberries
- 1-1/2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Sugar substitute equal to 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cantaloupe melon
- 1/2 honeydew melon
Recipe
Place 2 cups of the berries and all of the orange juice
and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and process
until smooth. Pour the mixture into a wire strainer and use
the back of a spoon to push the mixture through the strainer
and into a bowl. Discard the seeds. Stir the sugar substitute
into the berry puree and set the sauce aside.
Remove the seeds and rind from the melons. Cut each melon piece
into 3 long wedges and then cut each wedge in half crosswise to
make a total of 12 shorter wedges. Using a sharp knife, slice
each melon wedge lengthwise toward the point without cutting
completely to the end and open each wedge into fan shape.
Place 2 tablespoons of the sauce on each of 6 dessert plates.
Top the sauce on each plate with a cantaloupe and honeydew fan and
garnish with some of the remaining fresh berries. Serve immediately.
