Melons are an abundant summer fruit and are in season now. Whether blended into a thirst-quenching Filipino rockmelon drink, paired with salty prosciutto for an effortless appetiser, or turned into fun candy corn-inspired fruit kebabs, there's a melon recipe for every mood. Cool off with a quick and easy melon granita or toss together a vibrant watermelon salad that vanishes as soon as it hits the table!
This classic rockmelon and prosciutto dish is the essence of spring and summer on a plate. Delicate slices of prosciutto cloak melon wedges with a basil leaf adding an aromatic twist. It's perfect for entertaining!
Promise me that you'll make this Filipino rockmelon drink one day. You can use honeydew or rockmelon or cantaloupe and it is so refreshing and delicious-and I'm not even a big rockmelon or cantaloupe lover!
I tried candy corn for the first time last year, and while it looked adorable, it mostly just tasted like sugar. I created an fruity take on candy corn. These candy corn fruit kebabs are made with pineapple, rockmelon and banana. So much fun and great in warm weather.
Fruit granita is the ultimate way to stay cool on a scorching summer day. You can whip up a refreshing granita in just five minutes using fresh or frozen melon-cream on top optional!
I make this vegetarian watermelon salad twice a week every summer, and it disappears so fast I can barely keep up! It’s incredibly simple to make, yet the flavours are anything but basic.
So tell me Dear Reader, do you like rockmelon or cantaloupe? What is your favourite way to use it in a recipe?
