Melon Salad--12 servings

Yes....I know MELONS....they are grossly out of season right now but I managed to dig up this recipe from long ago. Enjoy!

1/3 c honey
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/2 c orange juice
3 TBSP lemon juice
2 TBSP chopped fresh mint leaves
4 c. cantaloupe balls
2 c. honeydew melon balls
2 c. watermelon balls

Prep:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine honey with sugar. Microwave on high power for 30 seconds; remove and stir. Microwave 30 seconds long until sugar dissolves.

Stir and let it stand for 10 minutes (why I don't know)

To sugar mixture add OJ, lemon juice, and mint leaves and mix well.

Place melon balls in large serving bowl and pour honey mixture over. Toss gently to coat and serve immediately or cover and refrig. until serving time.

MMM so refreshing on a hot day! :)
