Watermelon
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare
Chill the watermelon on ice for at least 12 hours, preferably 24.
Wipe the watermelon with a soft towel.
Cut a slice from each end, then cut the melon in half across the center.
Serve
Cover a large flat dish with grape, fig, or mulberry leaves.
Place the halves of the melon on the leaves and scoop out the flesh in spoonfuls.
