1-1/2 tablespoons orange juice

Sugar substitute equal to 3 tablespoons sugar

1/2 raspberries or blackberries

Stir the sugar substitute into the berry puree and set the sauce aside.

Remove the seeds and rind from the melons. Cut each melon piece into 3 long wedges and then cut each wedge in half crosswise to make a total of 12 shorter wedges. Using a sharp knife, slice each melon wedge lengthwise toward the point without cutting completely to the end and open each wedge into fan shape.

Place 2 tablespoons of the sauce on each of 6 dessert plates. Top the sauce on each plate with a cantaloupe and honeydew fan and garnish with some of the remaining fresh berries. Serve immediately.
