  Categories: Desserts, Fruits, Vegetarian
    Servings:  8
  
       2 c  Fresh raspberries*
     1/3 c  Sugar
       2 T  Orange-flavored liqueur**
       2    Cantaloupes
       3 c  Raspberry sherbet
  
   * Or unsweetened frozen raspberries, defrosted **Or raspberry-flavored
   brandy (optional)
   
      In a blender or food processor, whirl raspberries until pureed.  Pour
   through a sieve to remove seeds.  Stir sugar and liqueur (if used) into
   puree and mix well; cover and chill.
      Halve cantaloupes and remove seeds; peel and cut into thin slices. Line
   each of 8 small dessert bowls or goblets with 3 or 4 melon slices. Top
   melon with a scoop of sherbet and pour 2 tablespoons chilled raspberry
   sauce over sherbet.
      Raspberry sherbet in goblets lined with sliced cantaloupe and topped
   with Melba sauce would make a memorable finale for a menu featuring an egg
   and cheese dish.
