Melon balls are a great addition to a summer party spread.  They are adorable and easy to eat.  Skewering different types of melons makes a colorful treat for children.  Freezing skewered melons makes a healthy “popsicle”, as well.

I don’t own a melon baller, but I still make sweet little melon balls of various sizes when we buy melons during the summer months.  So, how do you make melon balls without a melon baller?

It’s so easy you won’t believe you didn’t think of it sooner!

The secret revealed . . .

Rounded measuring spoons.  I know!  Easy, right?

I made the watermelon balls in the picture using a tablespoon, a 1/2 tablespoon a teaspoon.  Who needs a single-sized melon baller when you’ve got a drawer full of various sized measuring spoons to work with?
