JELLO FRUIT WEDGES
I made these fun little guys for my 14 mo. old nephew and they were perfect! Being so young, it was better for him to eat a "Jello orange" than a real one. These were a hit with the whole family--not just the kids! Originally I found the recipe somewhere online, and I have found that its best to keep to the orange flavors, as other rinds have a more bitter taste that changes the taste of the Jello.

Steps:
- Slice the fruit cleanly in half lengthwise (through the axis).
- Carefully remove the pulp while keeping the half rind fully intact.
- Ensure that the rinds are dry (you can use paper towels to blot them).
- Set each half rind upright in a muffin pan so you can fill it with Jello.
- Mix the water with the gelatin (just like you would to make jigglers).
- You'll want the Jello a little firmer than the normal recipe as you have to slice it in half again.
- Make sure that the gelatin is well dissolved, and then pour into the fruit before it begins to set.
- Fill up as high as you can, the Jello will shrink a bit when cooling.
- Carefully transfer to the fridge and let set for about three hours, per box directions.
- When the Jello is set, place the fruit open-side down on a cutting board, hold it's shape with one hand and carefully slice in half lengthwise again to form quarters.
- Be careful not to smash the fruit as you'll want to keep the Jello intact (you may use a serrated knife).
- Ready to serve!

SOUR WATERMELON JELL-O SHOTS IN A WATERMELON RIND
You've probably seen watermelon rinds filled with Jell-O; our version takes the idea a bit further. Here we use the watermelon juice from the scooped-out watermelon, spike it with a splash of vodka, and give it a sour flavor so it tastes just like your favorite candy. The result is an adult-friendly summer party pleaser.

Steps:
- Using a large chef's knife, cut the watermelon in half lengthwise through the stem. Trim a small portion from the underside of each half so it can sit on the work surface without wobbling. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Scoop out most of the flesh with a large spoon into a medium bowl, leaving about 1/8 inch of flesh above the white part of the rind (this will help the gelatin to adhere).
- Transfer the watermelon flesh and any juice from the bowl and rind to a blender and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth (or a coffee filter). Discard the solids and reserve the juice; you should have about 5 cups total.
- Measure 3 cups of the juice into a medium saucepan (save any remaining juice for another use). Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk the watermelon-flavored and unflavored gelatin with the citric acid together in a large bowl, then whisk in the warm watermelon juice until all of the gelatin has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the vodka until combined. Pour the gelatin mixture into the hallowed-out watermelon halves. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill until completely set, about 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Slice the watermelon in half lengthwise, then crosswise into small wedges. Serve chilled.

Steps:
- Whisk together lime juice and honey until honey dissolves.
- Arrange watermelon on a platter and drizzle with the lime-honey dressing.
Tips:
- Choose the right melon: For best results, use a ripe, firm melon that is free of blemishes. Honeydew and cantaloupe are both good choices.
- Chill the melon before cutting: This will help the melon hold its shape and make it easier to cut into wedges.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you make clean, even cuts.
- Make the Jell-O mixture ahead of time: This will give it time to set properly.
- Dip the melon wedges in the Jell-O mixture quickly: This will prevent the Jell-O from getting too thick and gloppy.
- Place the melon wedges on a wire rack: This will allow the excess Jell-O to drip off.
- Chill the melon wedges before serving: This will help the Jell-O set completely.
Conclusion:
Citrusy Jell-O Melon Wedges are a refreshing and delicious summer treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a simple snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover melon. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and impressive dessert that everyone will love.
