Melons are the icing on the cake when it comes to summer fruits. Honeydew melons are often overlooked for the more popular cantaloupe or watermelon even though they have an exceptional taste. When topped with the syrup they are even tastier. To quickly peel and cut melon cut a thick slice from the bottom and top of the melon. Cut the melon in half crosswise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Turn each half upside down and working from the top to the bottom, remove the rind. Once the rind is removed chop the melon in the desired size for your recipe.
