Sliced Melon and Raspberries with Port Syrup Recipe
Sliced Melon and Raspberries with Port Syrup Recipe-March 2024
Mar 31, 2026 12:12 PM

  You can use honeydew, cantaloupe, or any other firm-fleshed melon for this light and luscious brunch dish. The important thing is that your melon be perfectly ripe and juicy, so sniff, pinch, and choose carefully. Make this a couple of hours in advance, so it has time to macerate in the port.

  

Ingredients

serves 6 to 8

  1 ripe melon, peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch pieces

  Juice of 1 lemon

  2 cups Port Syrup (page 283)

  2 cups (1 pint) fresh raspberries

  

Step 1

Place the melon pieces in a pretty serving bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice. Pour on the port syrup.

  

Step 2

Carefully add the raspberries to the serving bowl, but don’t mix them in. They will get mixed in on the plates. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Serve chilled.
