This recipe calls for Mace. When I first read it, all I thought about was "Mace" the pepper spray for self defense, but actually Mace is the lacy coating (called the aril) that is found on a nutmeg seed. We did not have "mace", the spice on hand, so we did not make the recipe with it.
We love camping from early May and mid-October and it is fun to come up with new recipes for camping. This recipe we tried in the heat of July at camp. It offered a cool & refreshing accompaniment to our meal in the summer.
Ingredients
2 cups diced assorted melon
1/2 cup plain or vanilla low-fat or nonfat yogurt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon mace1/8 teaspoon clove
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Orange zest (about 1 tablespoon) and juice (about 3 tablespoons)
Directions: In a large bowl, mix all ingredients to combine. Serve!
Tupps Tidbits: No need to buy "Mace" for just 1 recipe
For the "assorted melon" we only used cantaloupe. We were wondering if we had used honeydew & watermelon it this would have tasted differently? We also thought the spices might go better with apples instead of melons...but DEFINITELY a KEEPER recipe at our house!
