Tequila Soaked Watermelon Wedges

This grown-up fruit dessert borrows flavours from margaritas. Tequila and Triple Sec infuse the watermelon slices, which also get a spray of lime juice and a sprinkling of coarse sea salt. The longer the watermelon soaks, the more flavourful it becomes - one more reason to save any leftover slices.

1 small seedless watermelon, red or yellow, quartered and cut into 1" wedges
1 cup raw sugar
¾ cup water
½ cup tequila
¼ cup Triple Sec
2 limes, halved or cut into wedges
flaked sea salt or coarse sea salt

Arrange watermelon in a single layer in two 9-by-13" baking dishes. Bring raw sugar, water, tequila, and Triple Sec to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until raw sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Pour syrup over watermelon wedges, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.

Remove watermelon from syrup, and arrange on a platter. Squeeze limes over melon, and season with salt.

Makes 4 servings.
