Method

  1. Cut the stem end from a ripe melon and scoop out all the pulp, leaving the rind nice and evenly cleaned inside.
  2. Cut a very thin slice from the blossom end, stand the "shell'' in a deep chop plate and surround it with dainty flowers and greens.
  3. Remove all seeds and mash the pulp, add to it a pint of orange juice and a cup of powdered sugar.
  4. Freeze, turning the crank very slowly.
  5. Serve in the shell, using it the same as a punch bowl.
  6. This is nice for little afternoon affairs.
  7. Pass lady fingers or rolled wafers.
