Muskmelon balls

Making a perfect melon ball is quite easy. Wash the muskmelon and place it on a chopping board. Cut the muskmelon into small half with a sharp chopping knife. Remove the rind from both the halves of the muskmelon and deseed them. Now, press the melon baller firmly into the meat of the melon. Then lift the baller so that it stands straight inside the melon (as if you were opening a beer bottle with an opener). Then turn the baller clockwise using your wrist and pull out to get a perfect muskmelon ball. These dainty looking pieces of fruit are usually served with cocktails or in salads.
