Directions
-
Cut the top third off one honeydew melon using a deep zigzag pattern to create a lid.
-
Cover and refrigerate the top portion to use later if desired.
-
Remove seeds from the larger section of the melon and scoop out melon balls; reserve these balls.
-
Use a large spoon to scoop remaining pulp from the melon to form a shell, leaving about 1/2-inch thick walls; drain the shell.
-
Repeat the scooping process with the second honeydew melon to create a second shell.
-
Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each shell so they sit flat and do not tip over.
-
Cover the hollowed shells and refrigerate for up to 24 hours if preparing ahead.
-
Cut the cantaloupes into bite-size pieces.
-
In a large bowl, combine the reserved honeydew melon balls, pineapple pieces, red grapes, green grapes, and cantaloupe pieces.
-
Cover the fruit mixture and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to chill thoroughly.
-
Just before serving, divide the chilled fruit mixture evenly between the honeydew shells.
