Cantaloupe is such a versatile fruit; you can grill it and serve it with vanilla ice cream, or try it in a bread recipe like this one.

Ingredients

  • 3 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • 1 C. pecans, chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 C. vegetable oil
  • 2 C. granulated sugar
  • 3 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe cantaloupe

Directions

Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. In large bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and nuts. In another large bowl beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the oil, sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Cut the rind from cantaloupe; and cut the melon into 2-inch chunks.
