8 servings

  • 1 ¼ cups superfine sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves
  • 2 cantaloupes (about 4 lbs each) - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch wedges
  • mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Place a 7x12-inch glass dish in the freezer to chill.
  • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat. Cook until sugar has completely dissolved. Add mint, remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
  • Place melon in a food processor and process until pureed; pour into a bowl. Strain mint leaves from cooled syrup and add syrup to the melon. Stir until well combined.
  • Pour cantaloupe mixture into the chilled dish and freeze uncovered for 3 to 4 hours, stirring with a fork every 30 minutes. Continue until mixture is almost frozen and a bit grainy; don't let it freeze completely, otherwise you won't be able to serve it.
