Recipe Introduction


Muscadel is the South African name for our Muscatel. Wines are used extensively in the preparation of fruit appetizers.

About 3 hours before serving, prepare following syrup:
Boil together for 5 minutes: 1 cup SUGAR
1 1/2 cups WATER or FRUIT JUICE
2 Tbs. LEMON JUICE
2 Tbs. VINEGAR
1 tsp. GROUND GINGER.
Strain through a cheesecloth and cool.
Serrate 4 small CANTELOUPES (or any small melons) zigzagging across center with a knife to give uniform halves.
Remove seeds
Sprinkle salt and pepper.
Pour 2 Tbs. SWEET WINE (a MUSCATEL or PORT) in each melon half.
Fill each with 1/4 Cup WATERMELON BALLS.
Pour about 2 to 3 Tbs. syrup over each melon.
Refrigerate for several hours before serving.
Garnish with 1 or 2 sprigs MINT.
Serve on salad plates.


Here is another melon idea: Cut a 2-inch circular plug out of a canteloupe- scoop out seeds and fibers. Fill melon with diced fresh pineapple and strawberries, add 3 Tbs. port wine or any sweet brandy. Replace top and seal it by spreading cold butter on the seam. Chill. Cut in half to serve.
