Makes 4 servings½ watermelon
1 mango
1 punnet strawberries, some halved
1 punnet blueberries
1 punnet raspberries
1 punnet blackberries
1 nectarine, cut into segments
1 peach, cut into segments
mint leaves for garnish
Directions
- Place the watermelon half flat side down on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, slice around the watermelon skin and rind down to the pink flesh. To make different shapes, cut the watermelon into half. With the first half, cut into 1-2cm slices and using a star shaped cookie cutter, stamp out the stars from the watermelon. With the second half of the watermelon, use a melon baller to make balls and with any remaining slices, cut into triangles.
- Cut mango on both sides of the seed so you have 2 cheeks from each mango. Score the cheeks with a knife to make squares or criss cross making sure the knife doesn’t go all the way down through the skin. Turn the cheeks out with your thumbs to make hedgehogs.
- Arrange fruit on a large round board or platter, starting with the mango hedgehogs, peach and nectarine slices then watermelon.
- Fill the gaps with the berries, and garnish with the mint leaves.
