[Sca-cooks] faux watermelon?

[Sue Clemenger]

I've got another recipe (somewhere) for faux watermelon.  It involves
half a watermelon (halved from pole to pole, instead of around the
equator <g>), lots of raspberry sherbet, and chocolate chips.  One
scoops out the watermelon insides (using them for another purpose), and
fills the shell with the sherbet.  The chips are used to simulate the
seeds.  After assembly, it's frozen until serving time.
The football mold would work, too...If you wanted, you could even do
multiple colors of sorbet, with something colored green on the outside
(lime? mint?), and your choice of red on the inside....
yummm!
