2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
3 cups chopped cantaloupe (about 1/2 cantaloupe)
Combine sugar and water in medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil. Transfer to 9x9 glass dish and chill until cold, about 30 minutes.
Puree cantaloupe in blender until smooth. Add sugar syrup from dish and blend/stir to combine. Pour into ice cream maker and follow appropriate machine directions.
On the site where I got the recipe, several people commented that it was too sweet for their tastes and that adding 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of lime juice to the mixture made it perfect. I'll admit it's pretty darn sweet, but I like it that way, YMMV. Overall it makes a pretty small quantity, I'll be doubling or tripling it next time.
