1
Wash and clean the strawberries and, depending on size, cut them in half or quarters. Halve melon and remove seeds with a tablespoon. Cut out balls from the flesh with a ball cutter or dice the flesh

For the marinated fruits you do not have to buy a bottle of orange liqueur. You can also sprinkle them with liqueur, port wine or cream sherry from your stock. Looks nice: Arrange the fruit in the hollowed-out melon halves. For this, cut the melon in half, e.g. in a zigzag cut. The fruits are also delicious with a dash of whipped cream or crème fraîche on top
