Watermelon Basket

It's too hot here in Germany at the moment.

All of you who know me well, know that I really don't like heat.

I am a girl from Maine and I like the cooler weather.

It's been so hot you don't even want to go outside for a walk.

My friend Val reminded me on Facebook the other day, that in the heat

WATERMELON

is just the ticket!

So we are going to make a watermelon basket.

Get a non-toxic marker and mark your watermelon as shown.

Cut the watermelon with a sharp knife like so.

Spoon out the insides of the watermelon and save.

With a sharp paring knife cut triangle wedges around the melon.

You don't have to be exact.

Just have fun with it.

Fill it with fruit of your choice.

If I am serving it at a party I usually put it on a tray of ice.

Enjoy!
