12 servings

  • 4 cups watermelon
  • 3 stalks celery, cut into 6-inch (15 cm) pieces
  • ½ lime
  • blackberry, enough to cover bottom half of watermelon as "charcoal"
  • assorted fruit
  • 10 wooden skewers

Instructions

  • Using a melon baller or half teaspoon, make three divots in the bottom of the watermelon that are slightly smaller than the circumference of the celery stalks.
  • Cut the watermelon in half, with the bottom side of the “grill” being slightly larger than the “lid” side.
  • Hollow out the watermelon halves using either a melon baller or spoon. Save the pieces for the fruit skewers.
  • Insert the celery into each divot on the bottom half of the watermelon and secure with a toothpick if needed.
  • Insert 3 wooden skewers into the watermelon half along its top edge to start assembling the “grill”, spacing about ½-inch (1 ½ cm) apart. Cut the skewers as needed.
  • Fill the grill with blackberries, which will act as your charcoal.
  • Finish inserting the rest of the skewers to complete the bottom half of the grill.
  • Take the hollowed top half of the watermelon and toothpick a lime half to make the grill lid.
  • Assemble your fruit skewers and get “grilling”!
  • Add two skewers into the rim of the bottom half of the watermelon so that the lid can rest on it.
  • Enjoy!
