  • Slice watermelon in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. You'll only need one half for this recipe.
  • Cut ¼-inch off bottom of one half for balance if needed.
  • Scoop out watermelon flesh from one half and set aside.
  • Put fruits in a bowl and mix together. Add to watermelon half along with optional rum/liquor.
  • In a medium bowl, add cold water and sprinkle gelatin on top. Then add boiling water and whisk slowly for two minutes until dissolved.
  • Pour gelatin water into the watermelon until it almost reaches the top. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours to set fully.
  • With a sharp knife, slice watermelon lengthwise and then into 1-inch wedges. Serve and enjoy!
