Steps:
- Take a sharp knife and slice a small thin piece off the bottom of your melon.
- This will allow the finished basket to sit flat on a plate or table without rolling.
- Next, take the tip of your knife (you can also use your pumpkin decorating tool out if you have one) or garnishing tool and score the watermelon in half, horizontally.
- Then mark a strip of about 1 1/2- 2" wide that will form the handle of your basket.
- If you have trouble seeing the score lines, you might want to try using a marker.
- Next, take your garnishing tool and start cutting around the melon on the lines.
- The garnishing tool naturally makes V shaped cuts, which makes doing a basket like this a breeze.
- If you do not have a garnishing tool, use a small knife and make the V cuts one side at a time.
- You could also forget the V and make straight cuts.
- To make separating the melon easier, and the finished product neater, turn your garnishing tool over, and go over the cuts in the opposite direction.
- Carefully separate the cut sides from the body of the watermelon.
- If you used a marking pen and there are any residual marks left, a handy way to get rid of them is to use a new emory board and gently sand them off.
- Take a melon baller and hollow out the inside of the watermelom.
- After removing all the edible parts, take a large spoon and gently scrape out the sides of your"basket".
- Be care not to scrape too thinly on the handle, as you want it to have some stability, even though you will never try to carry it this way.
- Mix the watermelon balls (or pieces, if you don't have a melon baller) with other ripe fresh fruits.
- To make the handle garnish, thinly slice lemons, limes or oranges and use a toothpick to affix them, along with a grape, melon ball or cherry, to the watermelon.
- Keep any extra fruit in a ziplock back and refill as it goes down!

PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD
The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.

WATERMELON BASKET FRUIT SALAD
Where I come from a fruit salad is fresh fruit cut up and mixed in a bowl with some colorful berries. When I moved west I had to plan a buffet so I decided to carve a watermelon and asked some of my volunteers to make fruit salad so I could continue filling the watermelon basket with fruit throughout the evening. Well, I got everything but what I thought! I got jello molds, towering quivering things with berries and cool whip all over them; I got a berry and mayonaise and brown sugar concoction, and absolutely nothing I could fill my watermelon with. One of the gals said I should have asked for fresh fruit cut up and on a plate. duh. Now I know. Honestly, I never saw such amazing creations. They were all eaten up and once the watermelon balls were gone I just tossed my carved melon. Wah....

Steps:
- Wash and dry all the fruit.
- With a large veggie peeler/melon carver cut the top third of the watermelon off making a decorative edge of either scallops or peaks. (I wish I had premium so I could post pix). When I was a kid I drew my decorative edge on the melon and carved it with a boning knife but it is faster and easier if you get a tool designed for carving. Scoop the melon out with a small cookie scoop and set aside.
- Cut the cantaloupe into 8ths and cut the rind off. With the french fry blade of your food processor, shred the cantaloupe and set aside. I learned this from Greg Patton host of Pattonly Cooking sponsored by Cuisinart.
- Cut the honeydew in half and seed it. With a melon baller make itty bitty balls and set aside. You can cheat and slice this in your food processer on the thickest blade.
- Cut the pineapple into 8ths and core it. Cut into chunks and set aside.
- Mix melons and pineapples together in a large bowl.
- Quarter the strawberries and mix with the remaining berries and grapes. Do not mix in the raspberries or they will be pulverized.
- Layer the fruits in the watermelon basket, first a layer of the melons and pineapple, then the berries then some raspberries. Save most of the raspberries for the top layer. Continue layering until your melon basket is full and save the remaining fruit in a baggie so you can re-fill the melon basket.
- That's all there is to it! You can carve handles on your basket or leave it open which works better on a buffet as it is easier to access the fruit.
- To make it extra fancy whip up an egg white and dip clusters of grapes in it, then roll in superfine sugar and let dry on waxed paper. Secure the little grape clusters in the edging of the melon basket with a toothpick. I did this for my mother once when she had her lady friends over and it really wowed them as a centerpiece.
- Hope you try this! Have fun doing it with your kids.
