Many Uses for the Melon Baller
Ok, You have seen the little gadget called a melon baller. You know, the little tool with a scoop on each end of a handle about 6 inches long.
You keep thinking to yourself, who would ever want one of those, we don't eat enough melon!
Ahhhh, but here you are wrong. There are lots of little uses for a melon baller!
You can scoop little balls of ice cream for fancy little treats.
Got some butter and guests? Scoop out little balls of butter and place on a fancy dish for easier serving.
Making those little stuffed cherry tomato hors d'oeuvres? Use it to scoop out the center of the tomato for easy filling.
Oh, yeah, by the way, you can use it to scoop out little balls of melon too.....
I make center pieces using a melon baller. I take granny smith apples, hollow out the center with a melon baller (coat with wax if you like) add a candle and arrange on a pretty platter or metal basket. Great for fall decorating or for a festive center piece for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
