WATERMELON FRUIT SALAD BOWL image

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large watermelon
3 cantaloupe, halved and seeded
3 honeydew melon, halved and seeded
6 (15 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
6 (20 ounce) cans pineapple chunks, drained
6 cups halved fresh strawberries
6 cups seedless grapes
3 (12 ounce cans) ginger ale
3 cups honey
1 cup lemon juice

Steps:

Directions (*note all fruit can be cut into chunks and served in a bowl) With a large, sharp knife, remove the top 1/4 section of the watermelon. With a melon baller, scoop flesh from inside of watermelon, removing as many seeds as possible. Leave 1/2 inch of flesh inside the shell of the watermelon. Scoop cantaloupe and honeydew in the same manner, removing as much flesh as possible, and discarding the rinds. Refrigerate fruits separately until ready to assemble. Mix ginger ale, honey and lemon juice, (this will keep fruit from turning brown). To serve, place watermelon balls, cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges, pineapple, strawberries, and grapes, in a large mixing bowl. Pour syrup over, and toss thoroughly. Transfer mixture to watermelon bowl, and serve. Set aside any fruit mixture that will not fit. There will be enough fruit to refill the bowl.
