Melon and Blueberry Coupe with
White Wine, Vanilla and Mint
Bon Appetit August 1995

1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 1/3 cups cantaloupe cubes (about 1/2 melon)
2 1/3 cups honeydew melon cubes (about 1/2 small melon)
2 1/3 cups watermelon cubes (about 1/4 small melon)
3 cups fresh blueberries (about 1 1/2 half-pint baskets)
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
Optional Accompaniments:
Whipped cream, sugar cookies

Combine 1/2 cup wine and sugar in small [nonreactive] saucepan. Scrape
in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Stir over low heat until sugar
dissolves and syrup is hot, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let
steep 30 minutes. Remove vanilla bean from syrup.
Combine all fruit in large bowl. Add mint and remaining 1 cup wine to
sugar syrup. Pour over fruit. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. (Can
be prepared 6 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Spoon fruit and some
syrup into large stemmed goblets. Serves 6.
