1 medium cantaloupe or other melon, seeded
 1 cup simple syrup (recipe follows)
 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
 fresh berries for garnish
 Cut the ripe cantaloupe fresh into chunks and puree them in a food 
 processor to measure about 3 cups.  Stir in the syrup and lemon
 juice.  Taste carefully.  If the melon is not fully ripe, you may
 want to add a little more syrup.  Cover and freeze the fruit puree
 in ice cube trays [we needed 2.5 trays worth].
 When frozen, place several cubes at a time into a food processor and
 puree until smooth.  Process as many cubes as you want and enjoy!
 [One tray's worth of cubes was about 2 servings].
 Simple Syrup
 2/3 cup water
 2/3 cup sugar
 2 tablespoons lemon juice
 Put the water and sugar in a pot and bring to a boil.  Lower the
 heat, cover and cook at a gentle boil for 4 to 5 minutes.  Make
 sure the sugar is completely dissolved.  Add the lemon juice and
 let cool.  Use in above recipe.  Makes about 1 cup.
