cantaloupe
The garden is nearing the end of its productive season for the summer crops. There are a few tomatoes left, but okra is the only thing still growing strong. A few scarce peppers are still growing; green beans and the last of the cantaloupes. Now's the time to plant the fall crops: garlic, lettuce, cabbage, etc.
Check back later this week to see how these ingredients combine to make a delicious Southern meal.
Start with a fresh, fragrant cantaloupe! Your finished product will taste like the raw ingredient ;-)
Make sure the cantaloupe is semi-frozen or well chilled. Then, blend with ice, a pinch of salt and a dash of sugar. Make sure that the blender and serving dishes are very cold (store in the freezer for a few minutes prior to preparation) and be sure to serve promptly.
Served here with candied jasmine tea leaves (mint leaves are also a good choice).
