Ingredients

2 medium cantaloupes

2 cups apple juice

1 cup sugar

5 (4 inch) sprigs fresh rosemary

Melone Stile Esotico

Serves 4 to 6

Cut the canteloupes in half. Scoop our the seeds and using a melon baller, scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl.

Heat the apple juice, sugar and 3 of the rosemary sprigs to the boiling point in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour the juice over the melon balls and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Serve in glass goblets decorated with the remaining rosemary sprigs.
