Cantaloupe Cooler Recipe

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium (2 lbs) cantaloupe,
  • 1 1/2 cups orange juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ginger, ground
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 5 1/3 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • Garnish:
  • Mint sprigs
  • 1 lime, thinly sliced

    • Instructions:

    1. Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds, then peel and slice into wedges.
    2. Chop the wedges into pieces that will fit a food processor or blender.
    3. Add all of the ingredients, including the cantaloupe, and puree until very smooth.
    4. Refrigerate for several hours to blend the flavors. As this soup can separate very easily, be sure to stir just before serving.
    5. Serve cold with a garnish of fresh mint or lime slices.
