I have been trying to eat more fruit and one thing I have found I need to do, is keep it handy. Different kinds of fruit too. So, watermelon spears is one of the things I’ve been keeping ready nearby. That way I don’t have any prep every time I want a snack. It seems a lot of folks still wonder how that’s done so here’s a photo step-by-step of how I cut the small melon I bought this weekend.
small watermelon to be cut up
begin by cutting off ends
stand the watermelon up on one end
trim off watermelon rind
I find a pie plate is perfect for small melons
cutting watermelon into spears!
You’re a genius. And I’m stealing this.
LOL! Not sure I’m a genius, it just helps me not make a mess, gets it in a form I can keep it in the fridge too!
Yum. I generally cut in quarters and deal with it from there…

If you cut the rind off quite a bit of the vodka will leak out! Just sayin ; )
I saw someone the other night who did them with tequila! I like a bit of salt on melon now & then & like salt with tequila so….. 🙂
Oh and by the way, its great seeing you! 🙂
looks a lot better than the way i do it
I’m sure there are other great ways too but this one works really well for me! For full size melons, I cut in half and then do this!
Great idea Janice!
I always dislike cutting up watermelons. They never seem to look that great when I do them.
Incidentally, great timing for a watermelon post. August 3rd is National Watermelon Day. I know this because we often have gone to the Watermelon Festival in Rush Springs Oklahoma. I know its coming up too because I have been watching the advertising for it!

🙂 Sounds like a fun festival and well timed with the heat! Are you going?
Awesome! Cannot believe that I have not thought of this before now as much watermelon as we eat!
LOL! I really think it makes life easier. For the full size ones I cut in half and then do this. Of course I regularly wrap half uncut! LOL
