Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large watermelon
knife
pencil or marker
toothpicks-solid round ones
carving knife

Steps:

  • 1. Choose a watermelon that's a shape and size fitting for the table. Cut a thin slice from the bottom to provide a stable base.
  • 2. Draw the outlines for the heart basket with a fine/medium point waterproof marker or a sharp pencil before you cut. Halve the watermelon lengthwise with a straight, jagged, or wavy line.
  • 3. Leave a thick handle to "hold" the basket up from the center. (optional) Use a knife or decorating tool to cut out the edges. Be careful not to cut through the handle.
  • 4. Carefully remove the top quarter sections when the cutting is complete. Save the cut-out pieces for later. Trim the flesh from the inside of the handle.
  • 5. Cut out hearts or other designs from the rind you removed to decorate the outside of the basket and attach them with toothpicks.
  • 6. Fill with your favorite fruit, or, just follow the instructions of the watermelon fruit basket.
