How to Cut a Watermelon

Summer and Watermelon just go together.

But sometimes Watermelon cutting can seem daunting.

I try to keep it simple and quick,  and easy to eat for my little ones.

Push knife lengthwise, straight into melon...

Then around like the hands of a clock, turning melon half way through.

Now that you have melon rings...

Cut rind off, around the ring, then remove rind.

Cut slices in a checker board pattern and place in bowl.

Repeat with other slices, either as needed, or all at once.

To get the fruit out of the melon's end cap 'bowls', use a melon baller or spoon and dig out 'balls' of melon.

Enjoy Summer!
