Strawberry Soup with Melon Balls
- 4 cups strawberries, rinsed, hulled
- 1/2 cup superfine sugar
- 1/4 cup raspberry or red currant jelly
- 2 tablespoons Kirschwasser, Triple Sec or Cointreau
- 1/4 cup orange juice or more to taste
- 1 large Casaba or 2 ripe cantaloupe, seeded and cut into cubes or spheres (when you cut them with a melon baller)
- Puree strawberries with sugar in a food processor or blender and pass through a sieve.
- In a saucepan heat the jelly with Kirsch just until dissolved.
- Remove from heat and add pureed strawberries and orange juice.
- Return saucepan to the heat and thin mixture with more juice to make a "soup-like" mixture; heat just until warm - don't overheat or you will destroy the flavor of the fruit.
- Ladle out soup and float melon balls over the top.
