Steps:
- With a large, sharp knife, remove the top 1/4 section of the watermelon. With a melon baller, scoop flesh from inside of watermelon, removing as many seeds as possible. Leave 1/2 inch of flesh inside the shell of the watermelon. Scoop cantaloupe and honeydew in the same manner, removing as much flesh as possible, and discarding the rinds. Refrigerate fruits separately until ready to assemble.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat, and continue stirring until sugar has completely dissolved. Add lemon zest, and set aside to cool.
- To serve, place watermelon balls, cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges, pineapple, strawberries, and grapes, in a large mixing bowl. Pour syrup over, and toss thoroughly. Transfer mixture to watermelon bowl, and serve. Set aside any fruit mixture that will not fit. There will be enough fruit to refill the bowl.

- Carve watermelon as shown in steps on right. Wrap melon bowl in plastic wrap to keep moist; refrigerate until ready to fill. At serving time, fill with cut-up fruit.

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!
