Ingredients:
- 1 Large Cantaloupe (2-3 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1" cubes

Preparation:
In a bowl, mix the cantaloupe with a 1/2 cup of the sugar. Let stand for 15 minutes. In a small pot, place the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and the water. Bring to a gentle boil. When all the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat.
Using a food processor, puree the cantaloupe until very smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl. Add the sugar syrup and orange Muscat. Mix well and refrigerate until chilled.
