Fancy Melon

This is a very simple recipe. It should be a no brainer, really.

Well, I managed to screw it up somehow.

I didn’t realize that I had purchased fat free jello. This does not work! The jello never really hardened properly.

I ended up not serving this at our barbecue because of the jello not setting. I tried everything - even had it in the freezer for a few hours.

I think this dish, had it worked, would have been a great side dish or dessert. It looked fun.

ASPIC FILLED MELON

1 Large Melon

1 Package Fruit Flavored Gelatin

Cut off one end of melon and scrape out seeds. Reserve the cap. Fill the cavity with water, then pour into measuring cup. Stand the melon upside down to drain. Prepare gelatin with boiling water measured to the amount needed to fill the melon. Dissolve gelatin in water, then pour into melon. Place cap on top and refrigerate until set. Slice the melon being careful not to dislodge the gelatin.
