Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
- 1 watermelon
- 1 cantaloupe
- 1 honeydew melon
- 1 bunch each green and red grapes
- Handful of blueberries
Equipment needed:
- Wooden skewers
- Large and small sized cookie cutters
Preparation:
Turn the watermelon on its side. Cut a small slice off one end of the watermelon. This will make the melon stand up straight. Cut off a third of the watermelon from the other end.- Cut the removed end of the watermelon into 1/2-inch slices; cut the honeydew melon and the cantaloupe into 1/2-inch slices. Use small and large flower cookie cutters to cut flowers from the melon slices.
- Slide four grapes onto a wooden skewer. Slide a large melon flower onto the skewer. Slide a smaller melon flower on top. Put a grape or blueberry on the end. Make a lot of flowers from the fruit. Mix and match melon, grapes, and blueberries.
- Set the watermelon on a plate on the smaller cut end. Stick the skewers into the top of the watermelon for a fruity flower bouquet!
