  • hmmm, a lovely change of pace from plain old watermelon - definitely makes it much more sophisticated. Am planning to serve it at our next family reunion.

  • I made this only because I was looking for something different to do with watermelon. I found it surprisingly nice; an earthy, sophisticated yet subtle twist. However, I probably wouldn't make it again, but my husband liked it enough that he said HE would.

  • We almost skipped this dessert (I don't like fennel much) but I'm glad we did it. Very simple, very fresh, and it will leave you wanting to eat the whole watermelon.
