Ingredients

  • 1 small watermelon

  • 1 cantaloupe or rockmelon

  • 1 honeydew

  • 1/3 cup of honey

  • 1/4 cup of lime juice

  • 2 tbsp each of lemon and orange juice

  • 1/2 tbsp of finely grated ginger

  • 1/2 tsp of cardamom seeds

  • 2 tbsp of almond oil

  • 2 cups of fresh blueberries

  • chopped mint

Method

  1. Select three different types of melon - a small watermelon, a cantaloupe or rockmelon and a honeydew.

    Cut each in half, remove the seeds and, using a melon baller, scoop out balls of flesh into a large bowl using a melon baller. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.

    Meanwhile, in a blender, put a 1/3 cup of honey, a 1/4 cup of lime juice, 2 tbsp each of lemon and orange juice, a 1/2 tbsp of finely grated ginger, a 1/2 tsp of cardamom seeds and 2 tbsp of almond oil. Blend to a smooth sauce.

    Just before serving, drain the melon balls of any liquid and mix them with 2 cups of fresh blueberries.

    To serve 

    Place in individual bowls and pour the sauce over them.

    Finish with chopped mint.
