How to Make Honeydew Melon With Roquefort Cheese

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup honey, and the zest of 1/2 a lemon (or orange). Bring to a gentle boil.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
  4. Cut 1 small honeydew melon into bite-sized cubes (about 2 cups).
  5. Place the melon cubes in a shallow dish and pour the cooled honey syrup over them.
  6. Gently toss to coat the melon cubes evenly.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Before serving, drain off any excess syrup.
  9. Add 1/2 cup of seedless green grapes (halved if large).
  10. Spoon the melon and grape mixture into decorative cups or small bowls.
  11. Crumble approximately 2 ounces of Roquefort cheese (or your preferred blue cheese) over each serving.
