The last few mornings I've been spending some time cutting up melons for the freezer. As we have more cantalope and honeydew than we can eat fresh, I've been chunking them up and placing the pieces on a cookie sheet to freeze. Once frozen, they get put in a large freezer bag for eating this winter. Thawed melon is incredibly mushy, so the guys get it out and eat it frozen or partially frozen for a sweet treat. That should cut down (a bit!) on my grocery bill this winter. It is truly AMAZING how much food teenage boys eat . . .

I hear ya on the teenage boy thing!! My son obviously has a hollow leg!!
I've never even thought about freezing chunks of melon. We do that with grapes and cherries. They don't freeze solid, rather to the consistency of a popsicle. Nice and refreshing on a summer day. Plus, since we have 5 cherry trees (and can't possibly eat all those cherries) it is an easy way of preserving them.
