Place melons in 1 qt. oven-proof souffle dish or casserole. Toss with
sugar, orange zest and orange juice. Let stand at room temperature
for 1 to 2 hours.
When ready to serve, preheat broiler. Spread melons out in an even
layer; spread sour cream over top of the melon chunks. Sprinkle over
a layer of brown sugar. Place dish under the broiler, keeping it 5"
from heating element, for 2 to 3 minutes until the brown sugar
bubbles and begins to caramelize. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Top with fresh mint and serve immediately.
Shepherd notes that this is good served either by itself or over pound
cake.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
