Cantaloupe Ice cream (Helado de melon calameño)









And here I am again. I have several recipes ready, my problem is  only time.A post  needs more time.

 Many of you  know that I  care my mom who is sick. 
Sometimes I debate between grief and fatigue, forgive  me the personal stuff.
 But it is my reality.
In any case, compiling the recipes helps me keep my mind healthy.
Thanks for your greetings.

Anyway, This melon ice cream recipe that I did some time ago  (I hope it was a season in the northern hemisphere to publish it) really inspired me  by a friend who has a beautiful blog and almost everything has to do with fruit. 

I dedicate it to her and to all of you.
Irene Bombarda, thank you for making life  more nice with your precious children and your recipes,

Her blog is Uno spicchio di melone,

  13. I never heard of cantaloupe ice cream before, Gloria, but it sounds great. Besides, if they can make lobster ice cream and garlic ice cream -- and I know they make both -- why not cantaloupe?

  18. Gloria, I like cantaloupe but I've never had cantaloupe flavored ice cream. Sounds good to me! FYI, my favorite ice cream is probably praline pecan. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  21. What a beautiful color on the ice cream -- melon is new to me, but we will be in melon season in a couple months! My mother is requiring more attention too. She lives in a retirement community so meals are covered but we drive her around, sort her mail, pay her bills, remind her of everything since she can't keep appointments straight, etc. It's difficult watching a parent age... Please try to take care of yourself too.
