Melon with Fresh Berry Sauce - 21g Carbs, 3.3g Fiber
From: The Complete Diabetes Prevention Plan
Servings: 6
3 1/3 cups fresh or frozen (thawed and undrained) raspberries or blackberries
1 1/2 Tbsp orange juice
1/2 tsp lemon juice
Sugar substitute equal to 3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cantaloupe melon
1/2 honeydew melon
Place 2 cups of the berries and all of the orange juice
and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and process
until smooth. Pour the mixture into a wire strainer and use
the back of a spoon to push the mixture through the strainer
and into a bowl. Discard the seeds. Stir the sugar substitute
into the berry puree and set the sauce aside.
Remove the seeds and rind from the melons. Cut each melon piece
into 3 long wedges and then cut each wedge in half crosswise to
make a total of 12 shorter wedges. Using a sharp knife, slice
each melon wedge lengthwise toward the point without cutting
completely to the end and open each wedge into fan shape.
Place 2 tablespoons of the sauce on each of 6 dessert plates.
Top the sauce on each plate with a cantaloupe and honeydew fan and
garnish with some of the remaining fresh berries. Serve immediately.
