Watermelon is perfect for so many uses-

The watermelon's shape makes it perfect for serving salads or desserts.  It can also be used as a centerpiece or punch container.

Watermelon balls add color and flavor to fresh fruit and gelatin salads;

Cut watermelon into festive shapes and top with cottage cheese.  Or make a super summer salad with watermelon balls, chopped celery and pecans whipped into softened cream cheese or whipped heavy cream;

For a cooling snack, puree watermelon chunks, then freeze this juice into colorful and tasty "pops";

Combine fresh melon and ham to serve as an appetizer, salad or luncheon course;

For breakfast, a slice of watermelon is a delicious and juicy way to start the day;

Make watermelon rind pickles or preserves for a tangy sweet compliment to hamburgers, hotdogs and barbecued meats.
