How to Make Honeydew Compote
- Zest and juice one lime. In a small saucepan, combine the lime zest, lime juice (2 tablespoons), water (1 cup), sugar (1/2 cup), 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1-2 thinly sliced serrano peppers (adjust to taste).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture slightly thickens.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature (about 25 minutes).
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on the solids with a spoon to extract as much flavor as possible.
- Add 4 cups cubed honeydew melon to the bowl and gently toss to coat with the syrup.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and thin slices of prosciutto or Bayonne ham, and optional fresh fig slices.
