Bring the mixture to a boil, skimming the foam off the surface, and simmer for 15 minutes. Cut the melon flesh into thin slices, and place in a large bowl; set aside. Pour seed mixture through a sieve lined with cheesecloth placed over the melon slices, and set aside to cool. When cool, add lime juice and mint. Serve with red-wine granita spooned over the top. Serve immediately. RED-WINE GRANITA: Combine wine and fructose in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and add the zests. Simmer for 2 minutes; strain, and transfer to a 9-inch Pyrex glass pie plate.
