Ingredients

  • 2 limes
  • 1 1/2 lb assorted melons, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 5 cups)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup dark rum, if desired
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 12 bamboo skewers (5 or 6 inch)

Steps

  • 1
    Grate 2 tablespoons peel from limes. Cut each lime in half crosswise; squeeze halves over small bowl to remove 6 tablespoons juice.
  • 2
    Place melon cubes in 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag. Sprinkle lime peel and pour lime juice over melon. Add sugar, rum and mint. Seal bag; turn to coat melon.
  • 3
    Refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors but no longer than 24 hours. To serve, thread 4 or 5 melon cubes on each skewer. Discard marinade.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    "Mojito" typically refers to a cocktail made with lime juice, sugar, mint leaves and rum. We've taken those same flavors and turned them into a refreshing appetizer.
  • tip 2
    One-third cup frozen (thawed) limeade concentrate can be substituted for the rum.
