Marvelous Melon (1 pt)




From Light & Tasty
 

"Kids love these cantaloupe wedges filled with fruit-flavored gelatin and fresh strawberries. Even guests are impressed with this colorful dish," says Jillian Surman of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. "For different looks, I experiment with other combinations of melons, gelatin and fruit."


INGREDIENTS



* 1 large cantaloupe
* 1 package (3 ounces) sugar free strawberry banana gelatin
* 1 cup boiling water
* 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
* 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries


SERVINGS 6
CATEGORY Low Fat
METHOD Chill
PREP 15 min.
TOTAL 15 min.


DIRECTIONS




Cut melon in half lengthwise from bud to stem end; discard seeds. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each half so melon sits level; pat dry. In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in applesauce and strawberries. Pour into melon halves (discard any remaining gelatin mixture or save for another use). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, slice each melon half into three wedges. Yield: 6 servings.
