Michael has this great book called "Great Dinners from LIFE Magazine" from 1969.
The book is great because it's a collection of menus arranged by season. Here is this great recipe for a summer fruit dessert. I could also imagine this recipe working as a light appetizer during a BBQ!
Melon in Rum-Lime Sauce
1 cantaloupe
1 small honeydew melon
1/8 of a small watermelon
1 cup fresh blueberries
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 water
1 teaspoon grated lime rind
6 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup light rum
Use a melon scoop to form the fruit into small balls. In a small saucepan, mix the sugar and water; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for five minutes. Add the lime rind and let cool at room temperature. Stir in the lime juice and rum. Pour the sauce over the melon balls and berries and chill covered for several hours. Decorate with sprigs of mint and add additional rum if desired!
