ingredients

3 medium cantaloupe, halved
¹⁄₄ cup dry sherry, plus
2 tablespoons dry sherry
¹⁄₄ cup sugar
³⁄₄ cup orange juice
mint leaf

directions

Discard seeds from cantaloupe. Scoop pulp from each cantaloupe, leaving shells 1/2 inch thick. Cut a thin slice from bottom of each shell, being careful not to cut a hole in the shell. This is so that the shells will sit flat, and can be used as soup bowls.
Combine cantaloupe pulp, sherry, sugar, and orange juice in container of an electric blender; process until smooth. Chill thoroughly. Serve in cantaloupe shells, and garnish with mint.
