Easy Watermelon Fruit Removal

Posted on by traci

I absolutely hate cutting watermelon and then removing the fruit.  Okay, not hate it, but I don’t particularly love doing it.  So when I read about using an ice cream scoop to remove the fruit, I had to try it out.  It was so much easier.  (I don’t remember where I read it.)
