                        **For tipsy melon balls:
   1                    honeydew melon -- ripe
   1                    cantaloupe -- ripe
     1/4  cup           anise flavored liqueur
                        **For yogurt dip"
   4      ounces        plain low-fat yogurt
   2      tablespoons   finely chopped strawberries -- in juice

Peel melons and cut into bitesized cubes or balls. Place in glass bowl.
Drizzle liqueur over the fruit, stir to coat. Cover, refrigerate from 30 to
60 minutes, stirring several times.

Add fruit to yogurt and stir to blend.  Place the yogurt dip in a small
bowl; center the bowl on a dish or shallow bowl and surround with melon balls.

TIP: Pour (1/4 tsp or more) anise extract on a piece of rind and seal it
with the melon balls; cover. The melon will absorb some of the flavor and
none of the alcohol.
