(Honeydew Melon) The honeydew melon is one of the winter variety of melons,
which also include Persian, casaba, and Crenshaw melons. The honeydew has a
smooth rind with green pulp. Select honeydew melons that are free of
blemishes. When the ends of the melon can be depressed slightly, they are
usually ripe. We have also found that with ripe honeydew melons we can hear the
seeds rattle when the melon is shaken firmly. They will ripen on the kitchen
counter, can can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. See the
nutritional chart below.

The
above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):
'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every
tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the
earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that
has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all
that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
