Peppery Cantaloupe Cubes

Christmas Carol's Note:

I love sharing these two ingredient recipes, though this one may sound a little odd. I must admit when I heard a chef on TV say that freshly ground black pepper on sweet cantaloupe is exceptional, I was thinking more like- bizarre! But once you taste this, especially you cantaloupe lovers, you may never eat it any other way.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• ½ ripe cantaloupe , peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
• fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Divide cantaloupe cubes into 4 dessert bowls.
2. Using pepper mill, grind freshly ground black pepper over cantaloupe to taste.
3. Note; Be sure to use freshly ground black pepper- I'm not sure if regular pepper would have the same effect.
4. A very ripe cantaloupe, the sweeter the better, works best.

So delicious I epitomized all over myself.

I'm from the South, and this is how I was raised to eat cantaloupe. I thought everyone ate it this way until I got older. I always used black pepper until I got older and went a little more gourmet with it. I keep a pepper mill in the house with a mixture of peppercorns (black, pink, green, white). If you get the chance, try it with a mix...SO GOOD!!!! This is what my summer is all about: a big bowl of cantaloupe with fresh ground pepper!

I never knew there was another way to eat cantaloupe! We have always done this, kinda like putting salt on watermelon! Thanks for sharing this with all the people who haven't been clued in yet!
