Summer Fruit Wedges Recipe

David Venable

Pack these treats into a cooler and enjoy their fruity flavor at the beach.

Ingredients

  • 8 limes
  • 2 (3-oz) boxes watermelon or strawberry-flavored gelatin
  • 1-1/2 cups boiling water
  • 1 Tbsp black sesame seeds or 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

Cut the limes in half lengthwise and carefully loosen the flesh from the peel with a paring knife, cutting around the edge and bottom of the flesh but not through the peel. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving a hollow peel.
Take the hollow peels and place them cut-side up in the indentations of a muffin pan.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the gelatin with the boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Fill each of the hollow limes with the prepared gelatin and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
When the gelatin is set, remove the filled limes from the muffin pan and cut each in half lengthwise, creating a small wedge. Place about 3–4 sesame seeds or 2–3 chocolate chips on each side of the wedge so they look like watermelon seeds. Serve cold.

Cook's Notes

Substitute 6 lemons or 4 oranges for the 8 limes and use their corresponding gelatin flavor to fill the rinds.
