Well. Cantaloupe preserves is good. All done now. I actually did write this down as I went along. I will use it in the future for some honeydew also just to test it out again.
You know some days are just right. I used the flesh of one cantaloupe minus a tiny bit Lloyd ate for supper one night. Added sugar just enough to cover in the pan. Didn’t measure nothin’. And I got EXACTLY 4 half pints. Could NOT have purposely done that if I wanted to.
Great! And my kind of recipe too. (grin)
You’ll be sending us all some yummy cantaloupe preserves now, right? mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Hmmm only problem with that recipe is ‘How much did Lloyd eat?’
My standard portion when eating cantaloupe is 1/2 - Wife and daughter only like 1/4 - so it works out well.
Ok, so I like cantaloupe!
One of my favorite ways of eating it is to cut it in half, scoop out the seeds and fill the cavity with homemade goat milk vanilla ice cream.
I have one of those Bosch ice cream makers where you keep the tub in the freezer - then just before dinner, mix the ingredients and put them in the tub and put it in the mixer. By the time dinner is over - fresh homemade ice cream. Got pretty creative with it using surplus goat milk and added a few pounds in the process - but oh so gooooood.
