Melon Ball and Pineapple Brochettes
Recipe courtesy Gale Gand's Just A Bite by Gale Gand and Julia Moskin: Clarkson N. Potter Publishers, 2001
Show:  Sweet Dreams
Episode:  Poolside Treats
1/2 pineapple, peeled
1/2 honeydew melon, seeded
30 large blueberries
15 fresh mint leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges
Equipment:
A melon baller
15 to 30 thin skewers or decorative toothpicks, depending on length

Cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut the slices into 1/2-inch cubes and discard the hard pieces that come from the core. Set aside to drain on paper towels. Use the melon baller to make balls from the honeydew, about the same size as the pineapple chunks. On very fine skewers or decorative toothpicks, thread a blueberry, a piece of pineapple, a mint leaf, a melon ball, a piece of pineapple, and finally, a blueberry. Chill, covered, until ready to serve, up to 8 hours. Just before serving, squeeze lime juice over the skewers.
