Ask a question about this stepI'm so glad I just saw your comment drbabs, because I had totally missed this recipe! It looks wonderful, Hope. I just saved it and plan to try it very very soon! Our summer, as you know, comes after Labor Day and this will be perfect on those hot (hopefully) September and October days. Hope you're having a great summer!
drabs, the lemon/cantaloupe mix sounds so refreshing! What a great treat for a hot day. Glad you liked the spice! I am a sucker for salt and spices in desserts.
Thanks Suzanne! Glad you'll be trying it so soon! Hope everything is well with you as well.

I made this today with cantaloupe instead of honeydew and lemon instead of lime. It was delicious! Unfortunately, my cantaloupe, though ripe and soft, wasn't all that sweet, so the sorbet had more of a lemon than cantaloupe flavor. But it was really good! (I love the pepper.)
