Tracey, some of these recipes sound amazing! I have never had anything but fresh cantaloupe and now I think I may need to experiment a bit more. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOoh, how interesting. I never thought cantalope could be used in these ways.
ReplyDeleteI love cantaloupe and those look so good! I also really like the garden quote at the beginning of the post. Thanks for some great recipe ideas!
ReplyDeleteThe smoothie and the teacake sound just like me!
ReplyDeleteI love the quote. So simple, so true...
ReplyDeleteRocky Ford cantaloupe in SE Colorado are the best around. The hot days and cool nights make for some seriously good melons (when they aren't killing people with listeria outbreaks). Here in Denver though the growing season is too short. I've given up trying to get melons before they freeze. I'd rather save the garden space for something that will grow!
ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes!! I have not done anything with cantaloup...
ReplyDeleteYum cantaloupe! Here in France we have a melon like a cantaloupe but smaller & a bit sweeter also very good. Maybe I can try some of these recipes with them but the they are so good just on their own. Happy summer eating!
ReplyDeletei don't think I'll be able to grow cantaloups without a green house...yours are amazing. We've been having our first strawberries and radish, lots of spinach and salad and so excited because the seeds I planted out of a butternut squash we'd eaten are germinating and there are little green plants. It's so wonderful to watch and then enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite summer fruits :0) mari
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Cantaloupe and can't have them right now... SAD! Those recipes sound yummy too.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of cooking or baking with cantaloupe. It's one of those things that just seems best eaten straight up. Perhaps because the season here for it is so short, it seems right to appreciate it in its natural state, though the dessert soup sounds great.
ReplyDeleteYum! I must admit I have never thought of preserving or baking with canteloupe either, probably because they are expensive here. Hopefully I'll be able to grow some this summer and then I can try some of your recipes.
ReplyDeleteOh yum... i really like the look of that cantaloupe coconut soup !!! I love cantaloupe - and yes, we are seeing some come our way this time of the year.
ReplyDeletethanks for the links
wow what a nice resource! I've only eaten them with salt, but now I have some variety :)
