Method

  1. Assorted fruits 1 pint lemon, or any desired fruit ice 1 pint of fruit ice is sufficient for 6 servings.
  2. Partly fill sherbet glasses with fresh fruit, melon in balls, and pile large spoonfuls of fruit ice on top.
  3. Melons and citrons were popularized in Spain by the invading Moors and many desserts and salads are made luscious by them.
  4. Columbus spread the fame of the Spanish melon by carrying its seeds on his first voyage to America.
  5. The Indians took them then as far from the coast as New Mexico, so we have inherited many of our finest melons from the Spanish.
  6. The nasturtium, flower, leaf and green seed is a standard garnish in Spain.
  7. So this iced fruit salad would be made all the more appetizing and decoratively Spanish by the addition of half a dozen nasturtium buds.
