Melons are one of the juiciest fruits and are suitable for preparing a wide variety of salads, desserts, fruit drinks and even soups and main dishes.
Melons can also be used to make many bites to be served at children's parties or as an appetizer on festive occasions. Melons can also be eaten for breakfast with muesli, for lunch with rice or chicken or for dinner with fish.
What few people think of, however, is that melons can also be used for decoration. A typical example of this is learning how to make your own decorative melon basket, which you can fill with fruit or vegetable salad or even meat stuffing.
It is no coincidence that in some Asian countries it is customary to serve soups or liquid stews in a melon basket on more solemn occasions. Here's how to make it:
1. When choosing a melon in order to prepare it in a basket, always make sure it is completely healthy and choose its size according to what you will fill it with. The color of the fruit does not matter and you can choose it according to your personal preferences. However, it is good to contrast it with the filling;
2. Before you start processing the melon, it is good to wash it and dry it with kitchen paper to get a shine;
3. Turn the melon over and examine it well. You will see that on one side there is a small round formation that you need to cut. The purpose is to be able to keep the basket stable on the surface on which it will be placed;
4. Cut the melon in half. If you want the basket to have a handle, consider leaving an arc in the middle to act as a handle. It is good to have a thickness of about 1.5 cm. This is the more difficult option for preparing a basket of melons, so if you do not have enough time, do not deal with shaping the handle. In the easier option is an advantage that you can get 2 baskets from the 2 halves of the melon;
5. When you have already halved the fruit, start making zigzag cuts with the knife.
6. Clean the seeds from the inside of the melon with a spoon and if you need more space you can remove part of the melon itself. Do not throw away the carved fruit mixture, but think of a purpose for it.
