2 tbs. sugar |
1/2 california bay leaf |
1 tsp. mustard seeds |
1 tsp. pink peppercorns, crushed |
2 ripe cantaloupes, chilled |
Directions:
1. To make spiced wine, simmer all ingredients except cantaloupes in a one-quart heavy saucepan until reduced to about 1/4-cup, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool in saucepan set in a bowl of ice and cold water. Discard bay leaf.
