Handy Hints:
- If you can get your hands on a melon baller, use that to create the melon balls for this recipe, rather than an awkward spoon. The result will appear far more professional.
- Feel free to experiment a little with this recipe. Since it relies so heavily on various spices and sauces, mixing these up a little could produce some interesting results. Just try to keep it relatively subtle ;-)
