Here is a quick and easy way to peel and serve watermelon (which is one of my families favorite snacks during the summer. We just can't get enough). **This works great for cantaloupe too. I peel it, then cut it in half and scoop out the seeds.
*Start by cutting a flat surface on the end of the watermelon.
*Tip it on it's flat end and start to carve away the rind, from the top down, all the way around the melon.
*Slice off any excess rind and the top of the melon.
*Cut the melon in half lengthwise and lay it down on it's flat side.
*Again, cut the melon in 4 pieces lengthwise (so you get 4 large spears).
*Slice across the spears 1/2" to 3/4" apart. This gives you the perfect serving size and no rind or wasted watermelon when the kids eat it! Yay!
