MELON MARGARITA
Melon liqueur dramatically changes the flavor and color of a classic margarita and also makes it sweeter. If you'd like your melon margarita a little more tart, cut back on the liqueur just a tiny bit. -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor

CANTALOUPE LIQUADO
A refreshing drink with a unique flavor. Tou can kick it up a notch if you want with adding a little alcohol. I think that strawberries or maybe even a little more lime (or even lemon) would make this even tastier.

Steps:
- Place the melon pieces into your blender (until about half full) and then squeeze the lime juice into the blender. Use a pulse setting to blend and add water in 1/4 cup increments until it starts to move.
- Once the fruit has turned to pulp, add more fruit if you have it. Leave the blender on for 2-3 minutes.
- Use a spoon to determine how smooth it is. If you wish it to be smoother, keep blending for up to 4 more minutes and taste to determine if it is sweet enough. If you're not sure, add a little salt, blend it for 30 seconds and taste again.
- If it still isn't sweet enough, add sugar and blend again for a minute. Once it tastes the way you want, you're ready to get it to have the texture that you want.
- Pour the pulp mixture into a serving pitcher. Add cold water a cup at a time and stir vigorously until reaching your desired thickness.
- If you want a smoother drink, put a colander over a large bowl or pan. Line it with two layers of cheesecloth and slowly pour your drink through it to catch any fibers.
- Any unused pieces of melon can be taken as melon balls, frozen, and then put into the drinks as a sort of "ice cube" making a great treat in the drink as well.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the pancetta in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden brown and crisp, about 14 minutes. Transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Finely chop the pancetta.
- Combine the honey and 2 teaspoons of the sliced sage in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until it just begins to simmer, about 30 seconds (be careful, it can easily boil over). Cool to room temperature, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Spoon a little bit of the sage honey onto the flat side of a melon cube and mound a little bit of pancetta on top. Put on a serving plate and repeat with the remaining melon cubes. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon sliced sage and garnish the plate with the sage sprig. Serve immediately with toothpicks on the side.
COCONUTS: OPENING, GRATING AND LIQUADO

Yield about 4 cups grated coconut an
Number Of Ingredients 2
Steps:
- Opening Coconuts: Open the coconuts by flinging them onto a cement or rock surface (this is how the monkeys do it!) Don't worry about losing the liquid, as it's not the coconut milk called for in cooking. Each coconut should break in 3 to 4 pieces. It is also possible to open a coconut by piercing the eyes of the coconut with a screwdriver or ice pick, draining the liquid through the holes and placing the coconut in a 400 degrees F oven for 20 minutes. Wrap the coconut in a towel and hit it with a hammer to loosen the shell and split it into pieces.
- Pry out the white meat and then pare off the dark skin.
- Grating Coconut Meat: To grate the white meat, put the meat through the grating disk of a food processor or use a hand grater. You should get about 7 cups of grated coconut from the two coconuts, which will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
- Reserve 4 cups of the grated coconut for the pie crust and filling.
- Coconut Liquado: To make the coconut milk, combine the remaining 3 to 4 cups of loosely packed grated coconut with the milk (use 3/4 cup of coconut for each 1 cup of milk) in a heavy saucepan. Heat slowly, bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat and cool. Strain the milk, pressing down on the coconut meat to extract all the liquid. Squeeze all the coconut through a towel to get any last drops. Discard the coconut.

SPICED BANANA LICUADO
This recipe came from a friend in my gourmet class from college. We did a beverage unit and we were to make a family favorite. She was from the southwest and her dad's family was from Mexico. I had never heard the word "licuado" used in a recipe before. I enjoyed the drink, but haven't made it in a while.
