Ingredients

• 1 melon

• 1 large boiled potato, narrow at the top

• 2 cloves

• 4 black peppercorns

• 2 strips marrow (squash) skin

• 4 peaches

• 1 mango, dices

• 4 plums, thickly

• 250g/9 oz seedless grapes

---

Method:

1. Cut the melon in half and then cut the second half so that you have one piece larger than the other in a boat shape then scoop out the seeds.

2. Place the 'boat' in the centre of a large serving platter. Cut off the bottom of the potato so that it will stand up then make it into a person by using the cloves for eyes, a shape from a piece of plum for a mouth, peppercorn buttons and a scarf from a piece of plum.

3. Put the girl in the middle of the boat. Make the strips of marrow skin into the shape of oars and fix them to the boat with cocktail sticks (toothpicks). Quarter and stone the peaches then arrange all the fruit attractively around the boat. Serve as a dessert or aperitif.
