ingredients
- 1 Watermelon
- 2 cups Blueberries
- Wooden Skewers
Method
Step 1
Start by preparing the watermelon. Slice the watermelon into thick, rectangular pieces, about 1 inch thick. Then, cut these slices into your star shape using a star cookie cutter.
Step 2
Take a wooden skewer and carefully insert it into the bottom of each star Watermelon slice, making sure it goes through the center. Leave a few inches of the skewer exposed to resemble the handle of a sparkler. Repeat the process to create your own pattern.
Step 3
Slide a few blueberries onto the exposed part of the skewer, just above the watermelon slice. The blueberries will represent the “spark” of your sparkler.
Step 4
Arrange your Watermelon Fruit Sparklers on a serving platter. For an added touch, you can decorate the platter with fresh mint leaves to enhance the festive look.
Step 5
Place the platter in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. The coolness of the watermelon will be incredibly refreshing on a warm summer day.
