 Rockmelon

 Melons come in many varieties and in different sizes. Fresh slices, fruit salad, juicing, savoury combinations with lean ham, prawns, smoked chicken, roast duck or prosciutto.

Varieties include:
Rock melon (Canteloupe): has netted beige coloured skin and peach coloured flesh with a musky aroma and flavour.

Selection:
All melons should be heavy and firm for their size. Avoid damaged or soft melons. Rock melon (Canteloupe) has a porous skin allowing the exotic smell to come through when ripe. Ripe rock melon (Canteloupe) and honeydews will yield to gentle pressure at the flower end.

Storage:
Under refrigeration and when cut cover with plastic film.

Preparation:
All melons should be served chilled. Remove skin and seeds with a sharp knife.

Serving suggestion:
Slices of barbecued or roast duck, honeydew melon cubes, pistachios and rocket leaves tossed in an Asian style chilli dressing.
