Instructions

Puree the cantaloupe with the cider, the juice of 1/2 lemon (or to taste) and a pinch of salt in a blender on low speed. While you want the mixture to be smooth, keeping the blender on low will help you avoid whipping unnecessary air into the melon and lightening the flavor along with the color.
