Ingredients

1 1/4 cups dry white wine
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 ripe cantaloupe, halved, seeded, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
1 basket (8-ounce) fresh strawberries, quartered
1 cup seedless green grapes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions

Bring the wine and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Chop and combine the cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, and mint in a large bowl. Pour the warm wine mixture over; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until cold, stirring occasionally, at least 2 hours.

Transfer to the fruit mixture to a wide jar with a tight-fitting lid. Keep chilled.

A friend made this when she hosted an "All Italian Weekend." Everyone swooned over this refreshing dessert. It's fresh,... light, sweet even the second day! It's a keeper.Read more

Delicious and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe several times, and vary the fruit depending on my mood. I like using red grapes because tint the liquid... a lovely pink color, and sometimes use some banana. It's best eaten within 2-3 days, as the mint and fruit will become soggy if left in the fridge too long.Read more

great summer treat!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

this was very easy, and a big hit at one of our barbecues! I was worried about the mint flavor overtaking this mix, but I... really thought it was a perfect amount. I also added raspberries into the mix. Delicious!Read more
