They are somewhat similar to the Crenshaw melon. Sharlyn's creamy flesh is sweet and edible and is delicious eaten by itself, or for added flavor, try it with a sprinkle of ginger, salt, or a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.

Sharlyn melons add sweetness to fruit salads and refreshing drinks, such as fruit punches, margaritas or daiquiris.
