A Recipe for
Cantaloupe Melba
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

brandy (optional)
In a blender or food processor, whirl raspberries until pureed.
Pour through a sieve to remove seeds. Stir sugar and liqueur (if
used) into puree and mix well; cover and chill.
Halve cantaloupes and remove seeds; peel and cut into thin slices.
Line each of 8 small dessert bowls or goblets with 3 or 4 melon
slices. Top melon with a scoop of sherbet and pour 2 tablespoons
chilled raspberry sauce over sherbet.
Raspberry sherbet in goblets lined with sliced cantaloupe and
topped with Melba sauce would make a memorable finale for a menu
featuring an egg and cheese dish. Per Serving (including liqueur): 2
