1/3 cup pecans
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 of a medium cantaloupe, seeded
1. Heat oven to 350F. On a baking sheet, toast pecans 8
to 9 minutes, until golden; let cool. In a food processor,
finely grind cooled pecans; pulse in cinnamon and
transfer to a sheet of wax paper.
2. Cut cantaloupe into eight 1-thick slices. Remove rind
from 1 slice and cut into 4 chunks, immediately
threading the pieces onto a skewer. Repeat with
remaining slices until you have 8 skewers. Press one
side of the kabobs onto pecan mixture and transfer,
pecan side up, onto a serving platter. Serve
immediately.
Skewered melon is a sweet finish to a summer meal. If you
prefer macadamia nuts, use them instead of pecans.
