Steps:
- Combine heavy cream, half and half, sugar, and lemon zest in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover saucepan and allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes.
- Uncover pan and bring back to a simmer over low heat. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually stir one cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs, several tablespoons at a time. This will help to bring the eggs up to temperature without scrambling them. Stir the egg mixture back into the cream mixture in the saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture just coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover. Refrigerate overnight.
- Stir the lemon juice into the cold ice cream mixture. Freeze in a 4 to 5 quart ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer ice cream to a lidded freezer container, and freeze for 4 hours to ripen flavors before serving.

HOMEMADE WATERMELON ICE CREAM
This ice cream is so fluffy and light, and not overly sweet. If you are wondering why the vodka is necessary, it is because watermelon has a high water content which tends to ice up in the freezer. Since the vodka has a high alcohol content, it displaces the ice crystals so that the whole mixture doesn't turn into a solid block of ice once it's left in the freezer to ripen. When you pull it out of the freezer, if there is any left to put into the freezer, be assured you will need to let it thaw some before you will be able to scoop some out. Again, this is due to the water content.

Steps:
- Chill the ice cream bowl for at least 24 hours or until solid. You should not hear any water sloshing around when you shake the bowl.
- Add the cantaloupe to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the cantaloupe puree with a sieve, reserving the liquid, and discarding the fibrous pulp. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth and pale yellow in color.
- Add the milk to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Be sure not to boil.
- Add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk constantly until combined.
- Then, add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk.
- Heat the saucepan on low. Stirring constantly, heat until the base has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take a few minutes.
- Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove any pieces of egg that may have cooked.
- Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Add in the cantaloupe puree and stir until incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap making sure to have the plastic wrap touching the surface of the ice cream base. This will help keep it from forming a skin while chilling. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until cold.
- Churn the ice cream mixture in the bowl of your ice cream machine according to your manufacturer's instructions (mine took about 20 minutes), until it is thick and the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
- Spoon the ice cream into a shallow container or a loaf pan. Press plastic wrap or wax paper to the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.

- Scoop the melons: Use a melon baller or spoon to scoop the melons into balls or cubes. You can also slice the melons into wedges.
- Add toppings: Melons can be served with a variety of toppings, such as ice cream, whipped cream, yogurt, granola, or fresh berries.
- Make a melon salad: Combine melon balls or cubes with other fruits, such as grapes, strawberries, or blueberries, and a dressing made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey.
- Grill the melons: Sliced melons can be grilled until slightly caramelized. Serve grilled melons with ice cream or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Melons are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With their sweet and juicy flavor, melons are a perfect summertime treat. Whether you serve them chilled, grilled, or in a salad, melons are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
