Jeremiah Bacon, The Macintosh, Charleston, SC: Infused simple syrup rounds out the flavor of cantaloupe for this quick dessert. Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons pink peppercorns |
1 bay leaf |
1/2 vanilla bean |
1 medium cantaloupe (peeled, seeded, cut into 1 1/2 pieces) |
flaky sea salt (such as maldon) |
Directions:
1. Combine 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons pink peppercorns, 1 bay leaf, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Split 1/2 vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape seeds into saucepan; add pod. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Let cool; remove bay leaf and vanilla pod. Serve 1 medium cantaloupe (peeled, seeded, cut into 1 1/2 pieces) drizzled with syrup and sprinkled with flaky sea salt (such as Maldon).
