Ben And Jerry's Cantaloupe Ice Cream

Directions

1. This is one of Jerry's Favorite flavors, but they never figured out how to make it in large batches. It's sold only in their downtown store. Cut the cantaloupe in half and clean out the seeds. Scoop the fruit into a mixing bowl, add in the lemon juice, and mash till the fruit is purred. Drain the juice into another bowl and reserve. Cover the melon puree and chill.
2. Prepare the sweet cream base and whisk in the fruit juice. Transfer the mix to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream stiffens, about 2 min before it is done, add in the cantaloupe. if more juice has accumulated, don't pour it in because it will water down the ice cream. Continue freeziung till the ice cream is ready.
3. Makes 1 generous qt.
4. Variation: COCONUT CANTALOUPE: Use half the amount of cantaloupe and lemon juice asked for in step 1. Add in 1 c. coconut cream, such as Coco Lopez, to the Sweet cream Base in step 2. Complete the recipe as directed.
