Method
- Rest a small watermelon on a flat surface and, using a sharp knife, carve out a large mouth shape with pointy teeth. Scoop out a little of the flesh inside the mouth, chop and set aside. Carve triangles for eyes and a smaller triangle for a nose. Put the watermelon on a serving plate or cake stand.
- Fill the mouth with the chopped watermelon, some halved red grapes and chunks of pineapple and cantaloupe, letting the fruit tumble out onto the plate.
- Your jack-o’-lantern will keep in the fridge for 24 hrs, but cut and arrange the fruit to fill the mouth just before serving. It will keep for about 1 hr at room temperature.
