* Large melons make an attractive table centerpiece. Smaller melons can be arranged in groups or cut in half and served as an individual fruit salad or dessert. Select a melon with a nice-looking rind. Use a melon ball cutter to scoop out a variety of sizes and colors of melon balls from cantaloupe,watermelon and honeydew. Melons can be prepared ahead. Drain well, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Select size and variety of melon according to intended use. Place stem-side down. Slice off top one-fourth to one-half of melon (A). This cut edge will determine the top of the scalloped edge as well as the height and shape of the bowl. If whole melon is cut in half, two bowls can be made. Place a coin along the top of the cut edge. With a felt-tip pen, trace around the top of the coin, making a scalloped design around melon (B). Using a long slender knife, follow design and cut through rind and flesh. Remove top. Scoop out seeds. Use melon ball cutter to remove flesh from melon as desired. Drain well.
