Preparation
- In a food processor, puree cantaloupe until smooth. This should yield at least 4 cups. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups cantaloupe puree, star anise, sugar, corn syrup and 1 cup water. Place over medium-low heat and stir just until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let rest for at least 2 hours at room temperature.
- Strain through a fine sieve, pressing out as much juice as possible. Pour liquid into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions.
