Cantaloupe Melba
Ingredients
2 C. fresh raspberries*
1/3 C. sugar
2 tsp. orange flavored liqueur**
2 each cantaloupes
3 C. raspberry sherbet
* Or unsweetened frozen raspberries, defrosted
**Or raspberry flavored brandy (optional)
Cooking Instructions
In a blender or food processor, whirl raspberries until pureed. Pour through a sieve to remove seeds. Stir sugar and liqueur (if used) into puree and mix well; cover and chill. Halve cantaloupes and remove seeds; peel and cut into thin slices. Line each of 8 small dessert bowls or goblets with 3 or 4 melon slices. Top melon with a scoop of sherbet and pour 2 Tbls. chilled raspberry sauce over sherbet. Raspberry sherbet in goblets lined with sliced cantaloupe and topped with melba sauce would make a memorable finale for a menu featuring an egg and cheese dish.
