How much is 2 cups of cantaloupe?We Answered:
2 cups of cubed cantaloupe is probably one small wedge of a cantaloupe (like 1/8th of it). For your 8 cups, one cantaloupe should be more than enough depending on the size of the cantaloupe.Hope that helps.

Does anybody have a recipe for Cantaloupe/Basil popsicles?We Answered:
Ingredients:â– 1 small Cantaloupe
â– 1/3 cup Honey
â– 1 tsp. Fresh basil leaves
â– 1 Lemon
Cut the cantaloupe in half, remove the seeds and peel. Puree the flesh in a food processor together with the honey. Add the finely chopped basil leaves. Squeeze the lemon and add its juice to taste. Pour the mixture into the popsicle molds and leave in the freezer for 1 hour or until they begin to set. Arrange the popsicle sticks in the middle and put back in the refrigerator until completely frozen. Alternatively, you can add some low fat yogurt or milk to the mixture for a more creamy texture.
