When we get to have out of town guests in the summer, I like to have a watermelon bowl on hand for snacking or dessert.

• 1/2 watermelon
• 1 cantaloupe
• 1 qt strawberries
• 1 qt blueberries
• 1 qt cherries
• 3 limes

Using a melon or ice cream scoop, make watermelon balls from the watermelon, discarding seeds, leaving only the shell. Make smaller balls from the cantaloupe. Trim the edge of the watermelon shell with a sharp knife. Cut 1-inch triangles all the way around, making a decorative edge.

Fill the shell up with melon balls, adding strawberries, blueberries and cherries. Pile the fruit high in the shell, and decorate with quartered limes and a few mint leaves. Chill before serving.
