SPICY-SWEET MELON SALAD

The longer this salad sits and the flavors meld, the spicier it gets. 

1/2 c sugar

1/2 c water

1/2 small jalapeño, thinly sliced

2 c cubed honeydew

2 c cubed cantaloupe

Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; add jalapeño slices. Chill.

Combine sugar mixture and cubed melons. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Yields 6 (2/3 cup) servings
