Source of Recipe

From "Berries — A Country Garden Cookbook" by Sharon Kramis


Recipe Introduction

"There's nothing more appealing in the summer than a beautiful bowl of chilled fresh fruit. The bright colors and flavors of strawberries, blueberries, and fresh melons blend together so well."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ ¼ large watermelon
â—¦ 1 cantaloupe
â—¦ 1 honeydew melon
â—¦ Juice of 1 lime
â—¦ ¼ cup chilled Champagne, soda water, or 7-Up
â—¦ 1 ½ cups green seedless grapes
â—¦ 1 ½ cups red seedless grapes
â—¦ 4 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
â—¦ 1 cup blueberries


Recipe

Remove the skins and seeds of the melons and cut into bite-sized pieces. Or shape into rounds using a melon baller.

Place melon balls in a large glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours.

Just before serving, drizzle with fresh lime juice and Champagne (or other sparkling drink). Add the grapes, strawberries, and blueberries. Toss very gently.
