Honeydew Melon Margaritas Food

HONEYDEW MELON MARGARITAS

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
• Cut melon from the rind, removing any seeds; cut cubes approximately 3/4 inches in size. Place melon cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the freezer until frozen.
• After they are frozen, the melon cubes may be stored together in a plastic bag or freezer-safe container. Note: if melon cubes are frozen together instead of individually first, they will form a large block due to the high water content in the melon.
• Place all ingredients into a blender and blend starting at low speed, increasing to higher speed, until the melon cubes are pulverized. Recipe may be doubled in one blending.
