The melon is cut in small balls with the melon baller. Who invented such a down to earth name for this tool? You can use it for many other fruits; it is a handy little tool. Cut the apple in quarters and then in slices (not peeled), peel the avocado and cut in slices and then in smaller pieces. Peel the kiwi and then cut in slices through the middle. The green grapes? Just wash them.
