Aspic-Filled Melon


Ready In: 260 Minutes
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • Pare 1 large melon leaving it whole. Cut off enough from one end so you can scrape out the seeds. Reserve the cap. Fill the cavity with water, then pour the water into a measuring cup; this is to guide you for the amount of gelatin you have to prepare. Stand the melon upside down to drain.
  • Then fill, depending on the color of the melon flesh, with fruit-flavored gelatin and diced or small fruits.
  • Try a combination of: Orange-flavored gelatin, canned crushed pineapple, canned mandarin oranges or sliced bananas or Raspberry gelatin with fresh raspberries.
  • Refrigerate, and after the center is set, replace the cap, toothpicking it in place. Slice the melon horizontally, being careful not to dislodge the gelatin.
  • On individual plates, bed it down on leaf lettuce.
  • Top it with a spray of fresh herbs.
  • Keep chilled until ready to serve with Cream Mayonnaise.
