• Place each melon half into a small bowl to hold upright. If you also cut a thin slice off bottom of each melon shell half, this will also help to it to stand upright. Spoon the slightly-set gelatin into the center of each melon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight until firmly set.

JELLO FRUIT WEDGES

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!
