  1. Bring sugar and 1 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan, then simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

  2. Remove from heat and cool the syrup to room temperature.

  3. While the syrup cools, peel, seed, and cut the cantaloupe into cubes.

  4. Blend the cantaloupe cubes in a blender or food processor until completely smooth, adding some cooled syrup if necessary.

  5. Gradually mix cooled sugar syrup into the pureed melon until it reaches a slightly oversweet taste.

  6. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.

  7. Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
