Today, I want to show you a fun summer treat that uses the fruit baller.
This fun kitchen tool makes summer entertaining, kids’ lunchboxes, and mealtime extra fun.
Honeydew melon fruit balls
To make honeydew melon balls, cut the honeydew melon into a 1.5 inch slice and remove the seeds.
Use the fruit baller to make balls in each slice of the melon.
Pop a couple onto cute party picks or toothpicks and serve on a tray. To serve for brunch add a yogurt dipping sauce, or for dessert, add a chocolate dipping sauce.
Don’t let the rest of the honeydew melon go to waste though. Cut the remainder up (don’t forget to remove the peel) and make smoothies.
