Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 honeydew melon
2 ripe peaches, pit removed and cut in to 1/2-inch pieces
2 pears, cored and cut in to 1/2-inch pieces
1 bunch red seedless grapes, removed from the stems
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup yellow grapes
2 glasses dry red wine
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Cut the melon in half and remove the flesh carefully so as to leave the rind intact allowing it to be used as a pair of bowls.
  • Cut the removed melon flesh into 1-inch pieces.
  • In a large bowl mix the fruit and the almonds. Divide the mixture between the two melon rinds.
  • In a small pan mix the honey and wine (or grape juice) and heat over a low flame stirring until the honey is dissolved.
  • Pour the honeyed wine over the fruit in the two melon halves.
  • Refrigerate the whole for about an hour prior to serving.

This fruit salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits. It's also a great way to cool down on a hot summer day.

Not a fan of the mint. It overpowered the other flavors.

This fruit salad is the perfect way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a few pieces of fruit that are about to go bad, so I throw them all in a bowl with some honey and lemon juice. It's a great way to get a healthy snack or breakfast.

This recipe is a bit too simple for my taste. I like my fruit salads with a bit more variety and texture.

This fruit salad is a great way to use up leftover fruits. I had some apples, oranges, and grapes that were about to go bad, so I threw them all in a bowl with some honey and lemon juice. It was delicious!
