   Shred fine or puree in a blender half the cantaloupe or

   water, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add lemon

   Cut remaining half cantaloupe in small cubes and add to
   cooled mixture.
   Beat egg whites until foamy and then gradually add
   remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until a stiff (but not
   dry) meringue forms. Whip cream until stiff. Fold meringue
   and half the cream into the cantaloupe mixture.
   
   Pour into crust, decorate top with remaining whipped cream
   and chill until firm, about 3 hours. This pie should be
   served the same day it is made.   Makes 1 9-inch pie. JM
