How to Make Honeydew Compote With Lime Ginger A Hint Of Serrano
- Zest and juice 2 limes. Combine lime zest, lime juice (1/2 cup), 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1-2 thinly sliced serrano peppers (adjust to your spice preference) in a small saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until the syrup slightly thickens.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature (about 25 minutes).
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract maximum flavor. Discard the solids.
- 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. For best results, marinate for 2-3 hours.
- Before serving, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves and garnish each serving with 2-3 thin slices of prosciutto or Bayonne ham.
- Serve chilled. Makes 6 servings (approximately 1 cup each).
