Notes: To make the melon bowl: Use a non-toxic marker to draw zigzag pattern on the melon skin.
Cut deeply into the fruit along the pattern, separate halves, seed and fill with fruit.
Variation: Use watermelon for the bowl and fruit; to add additional servings to above ingredients.
Star's choice: Do not forget to add the Orange Liqueur!
