Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium seedless watermelon Seedless Watermelon
  • 2 6-ounce boxes Cherry Jello Mix or any red/pink flavor
  • 8 cups Water 4 cups boiling, 4 cups cold

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Slice the watermelon in half horizontally.
  2. Carefully scoop out the watermelon flesh from each half, leaving about a 1/2-inch rind to create a bowl. You can reserve the scooped-out watermelon for another use.
  3. Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the inside of each watermelon half. This helps the jello set properly.
  4. In a large bowl, prepare the Jello mix according to the package directions using 4 cups of boiling water and 4 cups of cold water.
  5. Carefully pour the prepared Jello mixture into the hollowed-out watermelon halves.
  6. Place the jello-filled watermelon halves on a baking sheet or in a shallow dish (to catch any potential spills) and refrigerate.
  7. Chill for at least 6 hours, or until the jello is completely firm.
  8. Once firm, slice the watermelon into wedges. For best results, make sure the slices are thick enough so the jello stands up well.
