Compressed Fruit

In a previous post I expressed my love of compressed melon. textures, colours and flavours go nuts with this process. Here is a fruit salad, once again a very simple dish that everyone recognises and feels comfortable eating. The twist here, apart from the obvious compression of fruits, is that each has been flavoured in the bag. Honeydew melon was teamed with boxwood honey, Cantaloupe got treated to a green cardamon infusion and Watermelon enjoyed playing with rosewater at Christmas that I thought they might like to hang out again. I also compressed apples with a little lemon juice, vanilla and icing sugar, and threw in a few fresh blackberries just because they were nice.
