Melon Boats

Melon Boats




Ingredients:

1. 1 Melon (Cantaloupe, Honey Dew or Watermelon)
2. 2 Small Packets of Flavored Jello (Use any flavor you would like; I used Blue & Dark Cherry) – you would need more/less depending on the size of the melon
3. Chopped Fruits (any combination of fruits you have in mind – I used peaches & pears along with some of the scooped out cantaloupe)

Note: Keep in mind that some fruits like pineapple & guava will not allow the Jello to set; so avoid those fruits.




Preparation:
Cut the melon in half.
Remove the seeds & discard (in a Cantaloupe or Honey Dew; try to get a seedless Watermelon if you are using one ).
Scoop out some of the fruit from each half, to make space for the jello & fruit filling while leaving some flesh to bite into. (See the pictures) – Save the scooped out melons.
Prepare Jello as per instructions; Pour the Jello into the Melon halves.
Chop the fruits including some of the melons you scooped out & stir them in carefully in the liquid jello in the melons.
Chill in the refrigerator till the Jello sets.
