Step by Step Method

Step 1

Pick a rolly-polly watermelon. Cut lengthwise from each end, towards the center, slicing off top third. Leave a center portion 2 1/2 " wide for the handle. Using a serrated knife, make big scallops around the top edge of the watermelon.

Step 2

With a melon baller, form balls from watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe. Toss with grapes and berries. Scrape inside of watermelon with a spoon to remove excess melon. Fill with fruit. Tie a bow on the basket handle to coordinate with table setting and napkins. Garnish with fresh mint.

Step 3

Note: at the end of the meal, rinse watermelon basket; pat dry and freeze for later use.

I couldn't get any fresh berries (they were on sale, so they were gone from my local grocery store!) but it was still wonderful with the melons and grapes. Fun presentation and easier to make than I thought it would be. Made this for the Summer Solstice and will make again for the 4th of July. (I will invest in a melon baller, as per the instructions. I didn't have one so I just cubed up the fruit.)

5.0
