P<\/span>otent in vitamins A and C, fiber, antioxidants, and potassium, cantaloupe can be considered a superfood in its own right. Cantaloupe is a type of muskmelon with webbed outer skin, which turns from green to beige as it ripens. While cantaloupes are best in late-summer, they are usually available year-round in supermarkets. When picking a melon, smell it\u2014it should have a sweet, floral, earthy fragrance (hence why it\u2019s called a \u201cmusk\u201d melon). The following preparations and pairings are guaranteed to impress your friends.<\/p>\n

Prosciutto-Wrapped Cantaloupe<\/h3>\n

OK, so we couldn\u2019t leave out prosciutto entirely\u2014it\u2019s just too tasty! The combination of cantaloupe and prosciutto stems from the ancient Roman health practice of mixing cold and moist foods with hot and dry foods. Second-century Roman doctor Galen found that balancing foods that represent the elements (warm = fire, cold = air, dry = earth, juicy = water) led to the optimum diet and boosted the immune system. Melon is cold and juicy on its own\u2014prosciutto lends the hot and dry element. Place a slice of cheese between the melon and the meat for even more decadence.<\/p>\n

Cantaloupe Salad<\/h3>\n

Sweet cantaloupe is emboldened when cubed over a leafy salad and paired with savory toppings. Chili, mint, citrus, and nuts or seeds are wonderful additions to start. Finish with a salty, crumbly feta or tangy blue.<\/p>\n

Cantaloupe Jam<\/h3>\n

Julia Hallman, general manager of Formaggio Kitchen<\/a> in Cambridge, Massachusetts, recommends pairing DIY cantaloupe jam with cheese: \u201cAll you need to do is cube the cantaloupe, toss with sugar, and let it sit in fridge for a few hours before cooking the mixture down until it reaches the right consistency.\u201d Top toast with ricotta, jam, and a drizzle of honey, or add to oatmeal then finish with cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche.<\/p>\n

TASTING TIP: Cantaloupe granita makes for a super refreshing treat: Blend the flesh of one ripe melon with \u00bc cup sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice, and a few tablespoons of water, then freeze the mixture to shave into granita. Serve with a dollop of cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche whipped cream.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
