Anyone give me hints for a sweet Melon starter?

Question

I'm having a dinner party tomorrow (short notice!) and i really wanted something easy as a starter - IE melon.

It is quite relaxed though so i really don't want anything fancy (or tacky - 1970s style!) and they're vegitarians so i can't use parma ham or anything like that and i'd prefer not to use port or anything.

I would love to do a sweet simple sauce.

I once went to a restaurant and had a red syrupy thing around the fan of melon it was red with a yellow 1 around it... anyone know what it is?? Well, anything along those lines would be FANTASTIC! please reply asap! xx

Answer 1

The best sauce I've ever done on melon is honey, lime & ginger.

Use a light tasting honey (like clover) just to balance the lime, zest and juice your limes and use freshly grated ginger.
