Fruit-Filled Cantaloupe Basket

Ingredients:

2 cantaloupes
2 cups strawberries, halved
1 cup blue berries
1/4 cup apple juice
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 bunch frisee or green leaf lettuce

Directions:

Cut cantaloupes in half and remove the seeds. With a melon-baller or small round spoon, scoop round ‘eggs’ of cantaloupe out of each half, leaving about 1/2 inch of cantaloupe in the melon. Combine melon balls with halved strawberries and blueberries. In separate container, mix apple juice, lemon juice, and sugar, pour mixture over melon mixture and toss lightly. Line the melon with frisee or lettuce leaves for ‘grass’. Divide and spoon cantaloupe half. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until served.

Serves 6.
