Stuffed Cantaloupe




Source of Recipe

List of Ingredients




1 med. cantaloupe
White or rose wine
1/4 lb. crumbled blue cheese
1/2 lb. ricotta or farmer's cheese
1/4 c. Sour cream or heavy sweet cream
salt and ground black pepper

Recipe



Cut a slice off the top of the cantaloupe, scoop out the fruit with a melon-ball cutter.
Marinate the melon balls in wine until time to serve.

In the meantime, blend together cheeses and cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Pile the cheese mixture lightly into the cantaloupe shell. If it does not fill the shell lower the rim of the shell by cutting with knife in jagged edges to form a basket edge.

To eat, spear melon balls with toothpicks, and dip them into the cheese mixture for a very pretty, refreshingly different appetizer.

Makes 4 servings (1 cup of cheese mixture and 20 melon balls).
