Instructions
- Begin by washing and hulling the strawberries, ensuring they are clean and ready to enjoy.
- Carefully cut the cantaloupe in half, removing the seeds to prepare the fruit for scooping.
- Using a melon baller, scoop out the pulp to create beautiful melon balls, setting them aside as you work.
- Reserve the emptied cantaloupe shells for a charming presentation.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cantaloupe balls and hulled strawberries, tossing gently to mix.
- Add half a cup of sugar and the dry Marsala wine to the bowl, stirring until the fruits are well-coated and the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for several hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- While the fruit is chilling, sprinkle the remaining sugar into the cantaloupe shells and refrigerate them to keep them cool.
- Once the marinating time is complete, fill each cantaloupe shell with the marinated melon and strawberries, using a spoon to scoop the juicy mixture in.
- For an extra touch, spoon some of the fruit juice over the filled cantaloupe shells before serving.
- Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful, easy-to-make dessert that’s sure to impress your guests.
