HONEYDEW FRUIT BOWL!



Here's a beautiful meal or snack.  We are going to make a fruit bowl out of a carved honeydew.  You can also use cantelope.  This is how I did it and the fruit I used.  Please use ANY of your favorite fruits.  There is no wrong way!  

Ingredients
1 honeydew or cantelope
 Any of your favorite diced up fruits
 


First, cut the tips of your melon so it sits on your plate without falling over...

*this was a wonderful tip from a good friend of mine*
 
Next, cut your melon crosswise, like this...
 


 


Now scoop out the seeds and discard.  Take a small knife and score around the edges, not pushing too deep...

 
Scoop out the fruit with a spoon, maybe make some melon balls...

 
 When finished, you will have 2 honeydew bowls!






Now fill it with your favorite fruits!


 That's it!  ENJOY!



*Notes:  To tell if your melon is ripe, smell the bottom.  If it smells like the fruit, it's ripe.  If no smell, leave it on your counter until ready!

*Variation:  My husband topped it with almond yogurt.  I would have done the same but we only had one left :/    You can also toss some chopped nuts on top, too!
