We did fill it with fruit salad...fresh pineapple, strawberries, apples, bananas, and grapes with an apricot glaze: 1 c. sugar 1 Tbl. cornstarch, and 2 cans (5 1/2 oz. each) apricot nectar and 1 tsp vanilla...cook until thickened. This is the best fruit salad and it is nice for those who don't actually like melons. We served the watermelon separately.
Yummy!

WoW! looks great :thumbup:zmom58 said:Here is a picture of my daughter's HS graduation watermelon. I got it from a Pillsbury mini cookbook-the kind at the check out stand. I used stick-on numbers-like the ones you use for a mail box, to trace the numbers. Maybe you can check Pills. website. I am sure yours will be beautiful no matter what because it's made with love.:love:
Have a great day!

When selecting a watermelon, look for one that is heavy for its size and has a yellowish spot on one side. This spot indicates that the watermelon sat on the ground and ripened in the sun, making it sweeter and juicier.
While there are specific tools designed for carving watermelons, a sharp knife and a melon baller are all you need to make a watermelon basket. You can also use a vegetable peeler for more intricate designs.
Before carving your watermelon, place it on a paper towel or cutting board to catch any excess juices. Once you have removed the seeds and flesh, use a clean towel to pat the inside of the basket dry. This will help prevent any leaks.
Absolutely! You can use a variety of fruits such as berries, grapes, and pineapple to fill your watermelon basket. You can also add in some cheese cubes or mini marshmallows for a fun twist.
If stored in the refrigerator, a watermelon basket can last up to 2-3 days. However, for the freshest taste, it is best to enjoy it within 24 hours of making it.
