Ingredients

  • 1 large watermelon
  • 20 cups cut-up fresh or canned fruit

Steps

  • 1
    To carve melon bowl, cut off top 1/4 of melon. Being careful not to cut through to melon, cut thin slice from bottom of melon so it will sit flat. Scoop out watermelon, leaving 1/2- to 1-inch-thick shell.
  • 2
    Wrap melon bowl in plastic wrap to keep moist; refrigerate until ready to fill. At serving time, fill with cut-up fruit.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use a wide variety of fresh, in-season fruits, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, kiwifruit and strawberries.
  • tip 2
    Pumpkin-carving tools work perfectly for carving watermelon, but you can use a small, sharp paring knife instead.
  • tip 3
    Use a melon baller to scoop out perfectly-shaped balls from the inside of the watermelon.
  • tip 4
    If using blueberries, strawberries or other fragile fruits, place them near the top of your carved watermelon fruit bowl to avoid crushing them.
