Ingredients
  

1 small ripe honeydew melon

2 limes (juiced and zested)

2 tablespoons honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Skewers (wooden or reusable metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Honeydew: Begin by slicing the honeydew melon in half. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out and discard the seeds. Once the seeds are removed, peel the skin off the melon and cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes, making sure to keep them uniform for even freezing.

    Make the Lime Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, honey (or agave syrup if you prefer a vegan option), and sea salt. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until the honey is completely dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

      Assemble Skewers: Take your prepared skewers and carefully thread the honeydew cubes onto them. Leave a small gap (about 1/2 inch) between each piece to ensure they freeze evenly and are easy to handle later.

        Marinate: Place the assembled skewers in a shallow dish or a large plate. Generously drizzle the lime mixture over the skewers, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through to allow all sides to absorb the flavors.

          Freeze: Once marinated, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the skewers flat on it. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let them freeze for about 2-3 hours, or until the honeydew cubes are completely solid.

            Serve: After the skewers have frozen, remove them from the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for approximately 5 minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to enjoy. Garnish each skewer with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: These Frozen Honeydew Lime Skewers are not only a refreshing summer treat but also perfect for serving at gatherings, bringing a burst of flavor and fun to your dessert table!
