 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1       lg           Cantaloupe, very ripe
    1                    Lemon -- juice of
                         Sweet cream base #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 the lemon juice, and mash until the
   fruit is purred. Drain the juice into another bowl and reserve. Cover
   the melon puree and refrigerate. Prepare the sweet cream base and
   whisk in the fruit juice. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker
   and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions. After the ice
   cream stiffens, about 2 minutes before it is done, add the
   cantaloupe. if more juice has accumulated, do not pour it in because
   it will water down the ice cream. Continue freezing until the ice
   cream is ready. Makes 1 generous quart.
    Variation: COCONUT CANTALOUPE: Use half the amount of cantaloupe and
   lemon juice asked for in step 1. Add 1 cup coconut cream, such as
   Coco Lopez, to the Sweet cream Base in step 2. Complete the recipe as
   directed.
