Stuffed Baby Watermelon
Watermelon will never taste better than in this lime- and honey-tossed medley of melon, peaches, and grapes.
Ingredients
-
1 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
-
2 tablespoons lime juice
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 8-inch baby watermelon (about 5 pounds) or 7 cups watermelon balls or cut-up watermelon
-
1/2 of a medium white peach, white nectarine, or yellow peach or nectarine, pitted and coarsely chopped (3/4 cup)
-
1/2 cup seedless red grapes, halved
-
Lime peel strips (optional)
Directions
1.
In a large bowl, combine the 1 teaspoon lime peel, the lime juice, and honey; set aside.

If using baby watermelon, cut it in half crosswise; using a melon baller, scoop out flesh. Add watermelon balls or pieces to lime juice mixture. Add chopped peach and grapes; toss to coat. If desired, spoon fruit mixture back into watermelon halves and garnish with lime peel strips.
