Hi Sally,
I bought the scraper at the Asian Food Store.
Thanks for the info, mm. I just happen to have a large Asian supermarket up the road. Next trip there, I'll look around for the scraper.
Hi everyone, if you are interested in buying melon scrapper, check Marco's ebay ---it is just 3.50 ....
Thanks for the article - Brings back memories ... anyone have any suggestions re where to buy a melon scaper in Sydney (Australia)??
When making this as a child, we used to put the seeds and some of the softer innards removed from the melon (Step 1 above) in a hand-held sieve / strainer with ice. Then pour the water / juice thru the sieve a few times to extract as much juice and flavour as possible .. enhances the flavour a lot from memory!
cheap alternative to scraper...
A fork works just as well.

I adore cantaloupe, and this recipe sounds outrageously delicious!
Can you be more specific about the scraper...what does it look like? Where would I get one?
