(Gefullte Melonen)
|
|
|
| What You Need: |

2 small cantaloupes or Persian melons halved and seeded
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
˝ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound fresh, sweet cherries, pitted

|
|
|
| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. With a ˝-inch melon-ball scoop, scoop out the balls of melon or cantaloupe, leaving a shell about ˝ inch thick next to the rind.
|
2. Refrigerate the melon balls and the fresh cherries together in a shallow dish, and cool the melon shells separately, for about 1 hour.
|
3. With a wire whisk or rotary beater, beat the chilled cream in a large chilled bowl until it holds its shape softly.
|
4. Then gradually beat in the sugar and the vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the cream holds its shape firmly.
|
5. Drain the melon balls thoroughly and with a rubber spatula, fold them, the cherries and the whipped cream together, using an over-and-under cutting motion instead of a mixing motion.
|
6. Spoon the cherry, melon and whipped cream mixture into the melon shells, heaping it high.
|
7. Serve "Gefullte Melonen" cold on a bed of crushed ice, if possible.
